Chlorine in SiC: Experiment and Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

An annealing study, in the 100-1400 C temperature range ,was carried out on Cl-implanted n- or p-type 4H-SiC epilayers. The electrical characterization of the epilayers shows the rise of several deep levels and the role of Cl, on both carrier concentration and defects' microscopic structure, is discussed in the light of theoretical results obtained by density functional calculations performed on a 64-atom cubic SiC supercell.
