Abstract:

This paper characterizes Al, N doped and undoped 3C-SiC samples after pulsed excimer laser anneal by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In order to protect surface morphology, low energy density of 0.2444 J/cm2 per shot was applied to Al and N doped samples. The results show damage recovery is corresponding to the amount of total energy applied to the surface. The peak shift of Bragg diffraction spectra of Al doped samples are almost independent of the amount of total energy. As the energy density is reduced to 0.0667 J/cm2 per shot and applied to undoped samples, the peaks of Bragg diffraction spectra of undoped samples are shifted. However, the peaks of Bragg diffraction spectra of undoped samples annealed with combination of energy densities of 0.0667 and 0.2444 J/cm2 are not shifted.
