The radiation hardness of two dielectrics, SiO2and Al2O3, deposited on low doped, n-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers has been investigated by exposing MOS structures involving these materials to MeV proton irradiation. The samples are examined by capacitance voltage (CV) measurements and, from the flat band voltage shift, it is concluded that positive charge is induced in the exposed structures detectable for fluence above 1×1011cm-2. The positive charge increases with proton fluence, but the SiO2/4H-SiC structures are slightly more sensitive, showing that Al2O3can provide a more radiation hard passivation, or gate dielectric for 4H-SiC devices.

ABSTRACTWe report on the illumination time dependence of the generation of positive charge in gate-quality nitrogen-rich amorphous silicon nitride films subjected to sub-bandgap illumination at different temperature in vacuum. The influence of film thickness and gate bias applied during illumination on the generation of positive charge is also described. We have found that a stretched-exponential function, which characterizes dispersive charge transport in silicon nitride, gives the best description of our experimental results.
