We present a temperature-dependence electrical characterization of the oxide/semiconductor interface in MOS capacitors with a SiO2layer deposited on 4H-SiC using dichlorosilane and nitrogen-based vapor precursors. The post deposition annealing process in N2O allowed to achieve an interface state density Dit 9.0×1011cm-2eV-1below the conduction band edge. At room temperature, an electron barrier height (conduction band offset) of 2.8 eV was measured using the standard Fowler-Nordheim tunneling model. The electron conduction through the SiO2insulating layer was evaluated by studying the experimental temperature dependence of the gate current. In particular, the Fowler-Nordheim electron barrier height showed a negative temperature coefficient (dφB/dT= - 0.98 meV/°C), which is very close to the expected value for an ideal SiO2/4H-SiC system. This result, obtained for deposited SiO2layers, is an improvement compared to the values of the temperature coefficient of the Fowler-Nordheim electron barrier height reported for thermally grown SiO2. In fact, the smaller dependence ofφBon the temperature observed in this work represents a clear advantage of our deposited SiO2for the operation of MOSFET devices at high temperatures.

Measurements of transverse magnetoresistaiice and Hall effect have been made on various single-crystal n-type samples of GaSb at magnetic fields of up to 2.4 W/m2 and temperatures in the range 4.2–300 °K. An analysis of the results gives values and the temperature dependence for electron concentration n and electron mobility μ for both (000) and [Formula: see text] minima of the conduction band, the energy separation ΔE of (000) and [Formula: see text] minima, and a value for the effective mass m1* of electrons in the [Formula: see text] minima. Values of ΔE0 = 0.084 eV, d(ΔE)/dT = +0.8 × 10−4 eV/°C and m1* = 0.43 me are obtained, while the ratios of the electron mobilities μ0/μ1 lie in the range 5–21. The total number of observed electrons in the two bands, n0 + n1, is found to vary with temperature, and this result is interpreted in terms of an impurity level above the (000) minimum.

ABSTRACTThe drift of electrons generated by a 3 ns illumination impulse was studied in several undoped a-Si:H specimens by using transient photocharge measurements from 10 ns to 50 sec. The transients show four stages of evolution: band transport, deep-trapping and subsequent re-emission, and recombination. From the temperature dependence of the emission time we estimated the mean energy of the trap distribution and the attempt-to-escape frequency associated with this trap to be 0.6 eV below the conduction band and 5×1012 sec−1 respectively; this trap has been identified in previous work with the D-center found in electron spin resonance. In addition the data resolve the two orders of magnitute discrepancy between mobility-lifetime estimates from earlier charge-collection experiments and from steady-state photoconductivity.
