Abstract
The study discusses the prospects for the development of low-voltage power supply sources. Beta isotope sources present great advantages for autonomous uninterrupted operation of remote devices, which gives an impulse to rapid development of betavoltaics. Silicon carbide homo- and hetero-structures serve as the isotope-based energy converters. We propose a new technology for isotope-based converter fabrication using silicon carbide and carbon-14 heterostructure as the active substance.
