Mp. Lam et al., EFFECTS OF NITROGEN IMPLANT ACTIVATION ON THE SIC SIO2 INTERFACE OF 6H-SIC SELF-ALIGNED NMOSFETS/, I.E.E.E. transactions on electron devices, 45(2), 1998, pp. 565-567
The implant anneal process for 6H-SiC self-aligned NMOS transistors wi
ll degrade the SiO2/SiC interface. The interface is of great concern b
ecause it reduces the performance of MOS transistors. The effect of an
neal time and temperature on the effective oxide charge and interface
state density is presented. The optimal anneal for self-aligned NMOS t
ransistors is obtained by choosing the anneal condition with the highe
st implant activation that causes the least damage to the interface.
