SiC and GaN MOS Interfaces – Similarities and Differences

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have comparatively characterized the electrical characteristics of 4H-SiC and 2H-GaN MOS capacitors and FETs. While progressive refinement of gate oxide processes, notably with NO anneal, has resulted in better threshold voltage control, reduced subthreshold slope and higher field-effect mobility for 4H-SiC MOSFETs, we have recently reported more superior MOS parameters for 2H-GaN MOSFETs. In addition, we have performed MOS-gated Hall measurements to extract the intrinsic carrier concentration and MOS mobility, indicating that both less channel electron trapping and scattering take place in 2H-GaN MOSFETs.
