Estimation of Surface Recombination Velocities for n-Type 4H-SiC Surfaces Treated by Various Processes

Article Preview

Abstract:

We evaluated the carrier lifetime to estimate surface recombination velocities for 4H-SiC whose surfaces were treated by various processes. We found that the reactive ion etching (RIE) increased the surface recombination velocity, and we considered that point defects introduced by RIE influence the surface recombination velocity.
