Since power devices such as DMOSFETs will operate at higher temperatures with accelerated degradation mechanisms, it is essential to understand the effects of typical operating conditions for power electronics applications. We have found that SiC MOSFETs when gate-biased at 150 °C show an increasing charge pumping current over time, suggesting that interface traps (or perhaps near-interface oxide traps) are being created under these conditions. This trapping increase occurs slightly above linear-with-log-time and mimics previously observed threshold voltage instabilities, though a causal relationship has not yet been determined. We found the charge trapping after 104 s of BTS increased at a rate of 1x1011 cm-2/dec for NBTS (-3 MV/cm), 0.7x1011 cm-2/dec for PBTS (3 MV/cm), and 0.3x1011 cm-2/dec when grounded. The observed increase in charge trapping has negative implications for the long term stability and reliability of SiC MOS devices under operating conditions.

ABSTRACTThis work surveys some of our recent experimental and theoretical advances in charge pumping for the electrical characterization of interface traps present in MOSFET architectures. The first part of this paper is devoted to an improved time-domain analysis of the charge pumping phenomenon. This approach presents the main advantage to use the same formalism to describe the charge pumping contribution of a single trap or a continuum of traps at the Si-SiO2 interface. The implications for deepsubmicron MOSFET characterization are illustrated. Some experimental aspects are then presented, including the adaptation of the technique to ultra-thin oxides, non-planar oxides and DRAM memory cells. Finally, recent charge pumping characterization results are reported concerning the electrical behavior of the Si-SiO2 interface submitted to particular technological treatments, electrical and radiation stresses, or post-degradation anneals.

Thermal oxide films on SiC epitaxial (000-1) C-faces have been characterized by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (AR-PES). The structure of wet oxide/SiC C-face interface was compared with that of dry oxide/SiC C-face, as well as that of dry oxide/SiC Si-face, in order to clarify why a MOS device of SiC C-face achieved good electrical properties. The improvement in electrical properties was confirmed by AR-PES measurements, evidencing differences in binding energy between SiC and the Si4+ components in Si2p and valence band region, and in binding energy between SiC and the CHx components in C1s. The reason for the improvement in electrical property of MOS devices by use of SiC C-face are discussed in terms of depth profiles of oxide films calculated from the AR-PES results.
