Abstract

The electrical properties of thick oxide layers on n and p-type 6H-SiC obtained by a depoconversion technique are presented. High frequency capacitance-voltage measurements on MOS capacitors with a ∼ 3000 Å thick oxide indicates an effective charge density comparable to that of MOS capacitors with thermal oxide. The breakdown field of the depo-converted oxide obtained using a ramp response technique indicates a good quality oxide with average values in excess of 6 MV/cm on p-type SiC and 9 MV/cm on n-type SiC. The oxide breakdown field was observed to decrease with increase in MOS capacitor diameter.
