Free carrier dynamics has been studied in 4H- and 3C-SiC in a wide temperature range using time-resolved photoluminescence, free carrier absorption, and light induced transient grating techniques. Considerably high carrier lifetime was observed in 3C-SiC epitaxial layers grown on 4H-SiC substrates using hot-wall CVD with respect to previously reported values for 3C-SiC grown either on Si or on 6H-SiC substrates. The temperature dependences of carrier lifetime and diffusion coefficient for 4H- and 3C-SiC were compared. Shorter photoluminescence decay time with respect to free carrier absorption decay time was observed in the same 4H-SiC sample, while these techniques revealed similar trends in the carrier lifetime temperature dependencies. However, the latter dependences for hot-wall CVD-grown 3C layers were found different if measured by time resolved photoluminescence and free carrier absorption techniques.

ABSTRACTWe present a femtosecond pump-probe ellipsometer operating over a spectral range of 1.4 – 1.7 eV with a ∼50fs time resolution. The calibration and preliminary findings of the setup are discussed. We tested the apparatus on bulk crystalline silicon (not shown here) and on silicon nanocrystals embedded in an amorphous silicon phase. The ellipsometric angles (ψ, Δ) were determined as a function of time and wavelength. The results suggest that a simple Drude model of free carrier absorption is not sufficient to explain the findings.
