Nano-Analytical and Electrical Characterization of 4H-SiC MOSFETs
نویسندگان
چکیده
4H-SiC presents great advantages for its use in power electronic devices working at particular conditions. However the development of MOSFETs based on this material is limited by mobility degradation. N-channel SiC MOSFETs were manufactured on p-type epitaxial and pimplanted substrates and the electron mobility in the inversion channels was measured to be correlated with their structural and chemical properties determined by transmission electron microscopy methods. With regard to what was previously discussed in the literature, transition layer formation and carbon distribution across the SiC-SiO2 interface are considered in relation with the measured low electron mobility of the MOSFETS.

The breakthrough of 4H-SiC MOSFETs is stemmed mainly due to the mobility degradation in their channel in spite of the good physical intrinsic material properties. Here, two different n-channel 4H-SiC MOSFETs are characterized in order to analyze the elemental composition at the SiC/SiO2 interface and its relationship to their electrical properties. Elemental distribution analyses performed by E...

4H-SiC n-channel lateral MOSFETs were manufactured and characterized electrically by current-voltage measurements and by numerical simulation. To describe the observed electrical characteristics of the SiC MOSFETs, Near-Interface Traps (NIT) and mobility degradation models were included in the simulation. The main finding of the simulation is that two models for the NIT states in the upper part...
