High efficiency 4H-SiC betavoltaic power sources using tritium radioisotopes

Christopher I. Thomas, Samuel Portnoff, Michael G. Spencer

Short summary

Researchers report an 18.6% efficient 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) betavoltaic power source utilizing tritium. This efficiency was achieved using a 200 nm 4H-SiC P+N junction and a titanium tritide foil electron source.
