Abstract

AbstractSilicon Carbide (SiC) Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitors, having different nitridation times, were characterized by means of Constant Capacitance Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (CCDLTS). Electron emission was investigated with respect to the temperature dependence of emission rates and the amplitude of the signal as a function of the filling voltage. The comparison between the emission activation energies of the dominant CCDLTS peaks and the filling voltages, led to the conclusion that the dominant trapping behavior originates in the Silicon-dioxide (SiO2) layer. Moreover, a model of electron capture via tunneling can explain the dependence of the CCDLTS signal on increasing filling voltage.
