Abstract

Electrically active defects in both 4H and 6H polytypes of SiC have been observed through the use of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Schottky contacts were grown by vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) with doping concentrations, the epitaxial layer having a doping concentration in the range of 1014 cm−3 to 1017cm−3. Numerous levels have been found in the as-grown n-type 6H-SiC samples and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and MeV electron irradiation have been employed to corrrelate the defect levels to impurities or structural defects. In contrast, only a single level is observed in the as-grown 4H-SiC samples.
