Analysis of Thin Thermal Oxides on (0001) SiC Epitaxial Layers

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, electrical properties of MOS capacitors with varying oxide thicknesses have been investigated. The oxide growth was performed at 1050 °C without any further post-oxidation annealing steps resulting in oxide thicknesses between 2 nm and 32 nm. Capacitance-Voltage measurements revealed a decreasing density of interface defects for increasing oxide thickness suggesting a deterioration of the interface at the initial stage of the growth.
