Relationship between C-Face Defects and Threshold-Voltage Instability in C-Face 4H-SiC MOSFETs Studied by Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present EDMR (electrically detected magnetic resonance) observations on “C-face defects” in C-face 4H-SiC MOSFETs. We found that negative threshold-voltage shifts of C-face MOSFETs are increased in association with EDMR signals of C-face defects as well as with the dissociation of hydrogen atoms induced by gamma-ray irradiation.
