Comparative study of electrical and microstructural properties of 4H-SiC MOSFETs

N-channel MOSFETs were manufactured on p-type and on p-implanted, n-type 4H-SiC substrates. The electron mobility in the inversion channel was measured to be correlated with the structural and chemical properties determined by transmission electron microscopy. With regard to what was previously discussed in the literature, interfacial layer formation and carbon distribution across the SiC/SiO 2 interface were considered in relation with the measured Hall electron mobility.
