These defects reduce the expected free charge carrier density by 84% for a low doped layer with [Al]impl ≈ 9·1016 cm-3 and by 27 % for a high doped layer with [Al]impl ≈ 2·1019 cm-3. Furthermore, an electrical activation ratio of implanted aluminum ions of 100 % is calculated. The ionization energy of implanted aluminum as measured by Hall effect and admittance spectroscopy ranges from 101 meV to 305 meV depending on the doping concentration.enactivationadmittance spectroscopyaluminium implantationcompensationhall effectionization energySecondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS)670620530Analysis of compensation effects in aluminum-implanted 4H-SiC devicesconference paper
