▼ [16a-C302-10] A Distributed Model for Near-Interface Traps in 4H-SiC MOS Capacitors
キーワード:4H-SiC MOS, near-interface traps, distributed model
Near-interface traps (NITs) are one of the most harmful oxide defects locating near the interface of SiO2/4H-SiC, which leads to the poor properties of 4H-SiC MOSFETs. However, currently, there is no good approach to estimate the density and distribution of the NITs because it is hard to distinguish the NITs and fast interface states. In this work, we established a distributed model to investigate the NITs based on the tunneling mechanism in the strong accumulation region. It yields frequency-dependent capacitance and conductance in agreement with the experimental results of dry oxidation and NO-annealed samples. Based on the proposed model, we estimated the density distribution of the NITs against the tunneling depth.
