We utilize electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) via spin dependent recombination (SDR) to provide a definitive identification of an interface/near interface defect present in a wide variety of 4H SiC/SiO2 metal oxide semiconducting field effect transistors (MOSFETs).

Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance

We studied interface defects of C-face 4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) by means of electrically-detected-magnetic-resonance (EDMR) spectroscopy. EDMR measurements were carried out on opposite types of C-face MOSFETs, which were prepared by dry oxidation and wet oxidation, and we found EDMR signals of interface defects from both the MOSFETs. Judging from their spectroscopic features, the interface signals of the two MOSFETs are assigned to be the same type, and we call them “C-face defects.” The density of C-face defects was found to be larger in the dry-oxide MOSFETs than in the wet-oxide MOSFETs. It is also revealed that part of C-face defects in wet-oxide MOSFETs are coupled with hydrogen atoms.
