3C-SiC MOS Based Devices: From Material Growth to Device Characterization

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work we report on the growth and preparation of 3C-SiC(111) material for metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) application. In order to achieve reasonable material quality to prepare MOS capacitors several and crucial steps are needed: 1) heteroepitaxial growth of high quality 3C-SiC(111) layer by vapour-liquid-solid mechanism on 6H-SiC(0001) substrate, 2) surface polishing, 3) homoepitaxial re-growth by chemical vapour deposition and 4) use of an advanced oxidation process combining plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) SiO2 and short post-oxidation steps in wet oxygen. Combining all these processes the interface traps density (Dit)can be drastically decreased down to 1.2  1010 eV-1cm-2 at 0.63 eV below the conduction band. To our knowledge, these values are the best ever reported for SiC material in general and 3C-SiC in particular.
