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.

The new quantitative model of influence of gate bias on the threshold shift of MOS-structures at the ionizing radiation which is based on the accounting of holes trapping in a thin border layer of gate dielectric on interface with a silicon substrate is developed. The model allows to describe the smooth growth of threshold shift with gate bias – approximately linear from a dose for a surface component and nonlinear for a volume component. The threshold shift at a negative gate bias is modelled on the basis of the accounting of holes generation at ionizing radiation in the border layer.

AbstractIn this work studies of some electrical parameters of the MOS structure based on 3C-SiC substrate are presented. The effective contact potential difference ϕMS, the barrier height at the gate-dielectric interface E BG and the flat-band in semiconductor voltage V FB were measured using several electric and photoelectric techniques. Values of these parameters obtained on structures with different gate areas decrease monotonically with increasing parameter R, defined as the ratio of the gate perimeter to the gate area. Such behavior confirmed results obtained on MOS structures on silicon substrate and also supported our hypothesis that the mechanical stress in the dielectric layer under the metal gate causes non uniform distribution of some parameters over the gate area of MOS structure.

MOS structures containing silicon nanocrystals in the gate dielectric have been tested as dosimeters for ionizing radiation. Before irradiation the nanocrystals have been charged with electrons by applying a pulse to the gate electrode. The γ-irradiation with doses in the range 0-100 Gy causes approximately linear variation of the flatband voltage, resulting in sensitivities of ~ 2.5 mV/Gy. At higher doses the sensitivity decreases because of decrease of the oxide electric field.
