Abstract
A new boron-induced deeper acceptor level (D*-center) different from the D-center in nitrogen-boron co-doped 6H fluorescent silicon carbide (f-SiC) is revealed by measuring the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL). The D*-center is correlated to the dominate donor-acceptor-pair (DAP) recombination at low temperature ranges in f-SiC with a PL peak around 1.90 eV. A hole-trap with an energy level that lies between the D*-center and the D-center is predicted to exist in the f-SiC samples. A two-step thermal ionization involving the hole-trap is proposed to explain the evolution of both D*-center and D-center related temperature-dependent DAP recombination.
