Room Temperature Physical Characterization of Implanted 4H- and 6H-SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study is to determine the appropriate physical characterization methods for evaluating material quality changes during the fabrication steps of a typical 4H-SiC Static Induction Transistors (SITs). The most important fabrication step in terms of material quality is the gate implantation and post-implantation annealing. For the purposes of the initial investigation, separate “witness” samples from the processed sample have been used for evaluating implantation and post-implantation annealing. Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS), optical transmission, room-temperature photoluminescence (RTPL), High Resolution X-Ray diffraction (HRXRD) and C-V measurements with Hg-probe and electrochemical (ECV) cells have been investigated in the frame of the present study. HRXRD and ECV have been proved particularly suitable for characterizing the implanted layers.
