Abstract:Infrared absorption (IR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies are used to study the V 3+ impurity and the vanadium acceptor level in 6H semi-insulating SiC. IR and EPR data obtained from samples cut from the same wafer support the assignment of the 0.60 and 0.62 eV IR absorption lines to substitutional V 3+ . Photo-induced EPR measurements reveal identical photo-thresholds for V 3+ and V 4+ ions. A peak at 0.8 eV, where the intensity of the three plus charge state decreases and the four plu… Show more
