Intrinsic {0001} 4H-SiC wafer cut to expose {101̄0} and {12̄10} side faces allows for conductivity measurements on different crystal surfaces. The wafer has a band gap of 3.20 eV. Its {0001} face gives a strong emission band at 384 nm, but the {101̄0} face is barely emissive. The {0001} face is also highly electrically conductive. The {101̄0} and {12̄10} faces show similar but comparatively less conductivity than the {0001} face. Clean current-rectifying I-V curves are obtained for the {0001}/{101̄0} facet combination, so novel transistors can be fabricated using the electrical facet effect. Moreover, the SiC wafer displays clear photoconductivity properties.
