A lower forward voltage drop does not always bring benefits
Schottky barrier diode (SBD) is unipolar device, which means electron (majority carrier) is the only carrier that conducts current during the normal operation of Schottky diode. SiC, because of its wide bandgap, exhibits a higher Schottky barrier compared to Si and consequently a higher cut-in voltage (the forward biased voltage where the diode starts conducting).
