P. V. Gray and D. M. Brown, Appl. Phys. Lett. 8, 31 (1966). S. Dhar, et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, (28). 5

Technol. 21, 33 (1982). e n of spectrometer set by t 1 and t 2 Constant capacitance => depletion width during emission of trapped carriers is independent of temperature! After the filling pulse, the capacitance is held constant by dynamically varying the gate voltage => voltage transient t measures emitted charge The difference of the gate voltage measured at times t 1 and t 2 after the filling pulse => CCDLTS spectrum Signal is a maximum when the emission rate of the trap equals the emission rate of the spectrometer MOS capacitor: trap filling pulse (Vp): depletion bias detects mostly SiC defects, accumulation bias detects mostly interface traps 7
8 Effects of NO Annealing: Near-Interface Oxide Traps CCDLTS (mv) Trap Density (1 12 cm -2 ) 8 7 O O1 4H- 4H T (K) O2 O1 N Oxidation Time (min.) No annealing time (min) N Density ( cm -2 ) Saturated CCDLTS spectra from 8-3K with trap filling pulse in strong accumulation Two broad Peaks in CCDLTS spectrum: O1 at E C -.15 ev and O2 at E C -.39 ev Near-interface oxide trap density reduced by a factor of 1 with NO annealing A.F. Basile, et al., JAP 19, (211). Comparison with ab initio calculations of defects in SiO 2 suggests: O1 is substitional carbon dimers in SiO 2 O2 is Si interstitials in SiO 2 SIMS shows N accumulates at SiO 2/SiC interface J. Rozen, et al. J. Appl. Phys.15, (29). Decrease in trap density is about 1% of the increase in interfacial N 8
9 Mechanisms for Improved MOSFET Channel Mobility NO-annealing, N accumulates at interface: FE ~ 35 cm 2 /Vs FE - CCDLTS shows near-interface oxide traps are passivated by N A.F. Basile, et al., JAP 19, (211). Na + in SiO 2 drifted towards SiO 2 /SiC interface: peak FE = 17 cm 2 /Vs - CCDLTS shows oxide trap density is unchanged by presence of Na + A.F. Basile, et al., Materials Science Forum , 757 (212). N implanted prior to oxidation, no activation anneal: FE = 8 cm 2 /Vs - N atoms partially activated as donors during oxidation: large negative V FB shift - CCDLTS shows oxide trap density is greater than with NO annealing and ion implantation defects are present in SiC => buried channel device A.F. Basile, et al, J. Appl. Phys. 19, (211). => Adding impurities increases channel mobility -- mechanisms include passivation of near-interface defects and counter doping near the SiO 2 /SiC interface Combination of implanted donor atoms with NO-annealing Sb implanted and activated prior to oxidation: peak FE = 8 cm 2 /Vs with Sb alone and 11 cm 2 /Vs with Sb + NO annealing for 3 min. - SIMS shows accumulation of Sb at interface (6x1 12 cm -2 => ~25% of implanted Sb) - increase in mobility freezes-out at 7K it looks like an NO-annealed device A. Modic, et al., Electron Device Lett. 35, 894 (214). 9
10 Sb-implanted 4H-SiC MOS Capacitors The idea is to end up with both N and Sb donors at the SiO 2 /SiC interface: N to passivate interface states and Sb to provide surface counter doping of SiC Sb at interface Al gate contact 2nm SiO 2 thickness 6nm n- 4H-SiC epilayer thickness 1µm n+ SiC substrate n- 4H-SiC substrate t thickness 3µm Au back-contact (~1nm) Sb + implantation:, 2.5, and 5e13 cm -2, 8 kev Activation anneal in Ar ambient at 165 ⁰C Oxidation: 115 o C for 11 hours want to consume implanted layer with Sb accumulating at interface Nitridation: annealing in NO at 1175 o C for 3 or 12 min 1

19 Summary and Conclusions Temperature dependent C-V and CCDLTS measurements have been employed to investigate defects near SiO 2 /SiC interfaces Showed that in Sb-implanted MOS capacitors the O2 (Si interstitial in SiO 2 ) density is unchanged but O1 (substitutional C dimer in SiO 2 ) density is reduced by a factor of ~3 compared to NO-annealing alone Measured activation energy of deeper N donor level to be E C - (.1.1) 1) ev, consistent with previous measurements by other electrical methods: W. Gotz, et al., J. Appl. Phys. 73, 3332 (1993) Hall effect T. Kimoto, et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 67, 2833 (1995) admittance spectroscopy Observed two new near-interface defects in Sb-implanted SiC -- deeper Sb level is at E C (.13.1) ev, could not obtain the energy for the shallower Sb level. The concentration cannot account for the larger Nd-Na observed deeper than the implanted Sb atoms. The observation of these new energy levels is consistent with calculations showing that Sb has two shallow levels in SiC (M. Miyata, et al., J. Appl. Phys 14, (28)) and with the freeze-out of the enhanced channel mobility in Sb implanted MOSFETs (A. Modic, et al., Electron Device Lett. 35, 894 (214)). 19
