AbstractDeep levels in 6H-SiC wafers implanted with Al+ ions at high-temperature were studied using current deep level transient spectroscopy (iDLTS). Aluminum was implanted at a temperature of 1800 °C with an energy of 40 keV and a dose of 2 × 1016 cm−2 into n-type epitaxial layers with different carrier concentration. Four levels were found, at Ec−0.12, Ec−0.13, Ec−1.06 and Ev+0.35 eV. It was established that modification of the carrier concentration in original ntype 6H-SiC epitaxial layers affects the deep levels concentration. The relationship between the thickness of the space charge region and the relative deep level concentration was considered.

ABSTRACTHigh temperature annealing of Si 3 N4 and SiO2 capped high purity LPE GaAs is shown to result in a reduction in the surface carrier concentration by about an order of magnitude. Au Schottky contacts made on the annealed samples were found to have severely degraded breakdown characteristics. Using deep level transient spectroscopy, deep levels at EC–.58eV, EC–.785eV were detected in the SiO2, capped samples and EC–.62eV, EC–.728eV in the Si3N4 capped Samples while none was detected in the unannealed samples.The electrical degradations are explained in terms of compensation mechanisns and depletion layer recombination-generation currents due to the deep levels.

We have characterized deep levels in as-grown and electron irradiated p-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers by the current deep-level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS) method. A part of the samples were irradiated with electrons in order to introduce defects. As a result, we found that electron irradiation to p-type 4H-SiC created complex defects including carbon vacancy or interstitial. Moreover, we found that observed deep levels are different between before and after annealing, and thus annealing may change structures of defects.

ABSTRACTDeep Level Transient Spectroscopy has been used to investigate cw laser induced defects in virgin silicon. Two main regimes have been found. In the solid phase regime, two well defined deep levels at Ec−0.19 eV and Ec−0.45 eV are observed. This point defect introduction is proposed to be involved in the degradation of ion-implanted cw laser annealed junctions. The mechanism leading to point defects generation is likely to involve trapping of in–diffused vacancies, quenched–in from the high temperature state. In the slip lines or melt regimes, additionnal deep levels are detected, which are ascribed to dislocations.

The authors have investigated deep levels in the whole energy range of bandgap of 4H-SiC, which are generated by N+, P+, Al+ implantation, by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Ne+-implanted samples have been also prepared to investigate the pure implantation damage. In the n-type as-grown material, Z1/2 (Ec – 0.63 eV) and EH6/7 (Ec – 1.6 eV) are dominant deep levels. When the implant dose is low, seven peaks (IN1, IN3 ~ IN6, IN8, IN9) have emerged by implantation and annealing at 1000oC in the DLTS spectra from all n-type samples. After high-temperature annealing at 1700oC, however, most DLTS peaks disappeared, and two peaks, Z1/2 and EH6/7 survive. In the p-type as-grown material, D center (Ev + 0.40 eV) and HK4 (Ev + 1.4 eV) are dominant. When the implant dose is low, two peaks (IP1, IP3) have emerged by implantation and annealing at 1000oC, and four traps IP2, IP4 (Ev + 0.72 eV), IP7 (Ev + 1.3 eV), and IP8 (Ev + 1.4 eV) are dominant after annealing at 1700oC.

AbstractEpitaxial layers of 4H-SiC are grown on (0001) substrates inclined toward <1120> and <1100> directions. Defects in these films are characterized by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) in order to clarify the dependence of concentrations and activation energies on substrate inclination. DLTS results show no such dependence on substrate inclination but show thickness dependence of the concentration.
