Influence of Nitrogen Implantation on Electrical Properties of Al/SiO2/4H-SiC MOS Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this article, an influence of nitrogen implantation dosage on SiC MOS structure is analyzed using wide range of nitrogen implantation dose (between ~1013 – 1016). Authors analyzed electrical and material properties of investigated samples using C-V, I-V measurements, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS profiling. It has been shown that surface state trap density is directly connected to implantation damage and thus implantation conditions. Using research results a trap origin at given energy can be concluded.
