Abstract

Measurements of the near-interface oxide traps (NIOTs) aligned to the conduction band of silicon-carbide (SiC) are of particular importance as these active defects are responsible for degradation of the channel-carrier mobility in 4H-SiC MOSFETs. In this brief, a new method for measurement of the active NIOTs with energy levels aligned to the conduction band is proposed. The method utilizes transient-current measurements on 4H-SiC MOS capacitors biased in accumulation. Nitrided oxide and dry oxide are used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed measurement method.
