V and Ti Doping in 4H-SiC Epitaxy for Reduction of Carrier Lifetimes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC with intentional V or Ti doping was performed to obtain short minority carrier lifetimes, using VCl4 or TiCl4 as the doping sources. The doping efficiencies and quality of the epilayers were compared for H2+SiH4+C3H8 and H2+SiH4+C3H8+HCl gas systems. The addition of V or Ti in highly N-doped epilayer demonstrated very short minority carrier lifetimes of 20-30 ns at 250°C.
