A SiC Schottky diode and a Si surface barrier detector have been compared during Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) using 2-3 MeV proton beams. Both detectors are suited to detect high energetic ions with high-energy resolution for spectroscopic analysis. The correlations between the detector parameters and the surface passivating layers, ion energy and current dependence, ion penetration depth, detection efficiency and energy resolution, are outlined. Comparative RBS analysis performed using SiC and Si detectors has been investigated to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the use of SiC with respect to the traditional Si junction detector. RBS spectrometry has been carried out using projectiles of proton incident on different targets to analyse their composition and thickness by the detection of the backscattered ions revealed by Si and SiC detectors.
