To evaluate oxide trap state density in the near interface region of silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor (SiC MOS) stacks, photo-assisted capacitance-voltage measurements at various temperatures were performed. The difference between the deep trap profiles at SiC MOS interfaces treated with two kinds of post-oxidation-annealing was revealed, which cannot be detected by conventional evaluation methods of interface state density. With this method, the differences in energy profile of trap levels together with their spatial distribution in near interface region of oxide were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
