Abstract
In this paper we propose the use of U-grooved MOS capacitors to investigate oxides intended for U-grooved MOSFETs and IGBTs in silicon carbide. The UMOS capacitor uses only two mask layers, and has vertically etched walls and a gate contact that overlaps the step. We have manufactured UMOS capacitors in n-type 6H SiC with dry thermal gate oxides, and compared the capacitance voltage characteristics to those of flat reference capacitors. It was found that the general appearance of capacitance-voltage curves was unchanged by the addition of the vertical grooves, although the leakage through the oxide was increased. The oxide thickness on the sidewalls was approximately the same as on the flat parts of the devices.
