The effect of electron and proton irradiation temperature on the formation of radiation defects in 4H-SiC Schottky diodes was studied using low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy. It has been established that the temperature at which irradiation is carried out significantly affects the formation of radiation defects in the base layer of n-4H-SiC diodes. This observation is in good agreement with the results of changes in the electrical properties of the same samples under the influence of proton and electron irradiation. Keywords: 4H-SiC Schottky diode, proton irradiation, electron irradiation, photoluminescence, electrical properties.
