Abstract
An optical-capacitance-transient spectroscopy (O-CTS) method was used to characterize defects in epitaxial 6H-SiC. The O-CTS measurements enable us to estimate the optical ionization energy and the optical cross section of these defects. By the deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), three peaks were observed, and two of them were identified as E2 and R centers which have been previously reported. We measured the optical cross section for both the centers. By fitting the experimental data with theoretical curves for the optical cross section, we obtained optical ionization energy of 1.58 eV for the R center and 1.0 eV for the E2 center. From the DLTS measurements, the thermal activation energy of the R center is 1.30 eV and that of the E2 center is 0.43 eV. From these results and the previously reported capture energy barrier, the Franck–Condon shift, dFC is estimated to be 0.28 eV for the R center and 0.62 eV for the E2 center.
