Egs. Vonkamienski et al., PASSIVATION OF INTERFACE TRAPS IN MOS-DEVICES ON N-TYPE AND P-TYPE 6H-SIC, DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS, 6(10), 1997, pp. 1497-1499
Interface traps in the SiO2-6H-SiC system can be passivated by a high
temperature anneal in hydrogen or moistrous atmosphere. The passivatio
n is very effective for deep donor like traps which are reduced toward
s the 10(11) cm(-2) eV(-1) range. The electrical properties of n-chann
el MOSFETs show that the gate oxides contain only a low density of fix
ed oxide charges in the low 10(11) cm(-2) range for the passivated and
the unpassivated state. It is further demonstrated that deep donor-li
ke interface states hardly affect the electrical properties of n-chann
el MOSFETs on 6H-SiC. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
