Keywords:wide-bandgap, deep trap, capacitance-voltage measurement

Deep traps at insulator/wide-bandgap semiconductor interface are difficult to detect by using the conventional capacitance-voltage (C-V) method. The photo-assisted C-V method is a solution to this challenge, but still lacks in the accuracy of obtained results. Based on the physical understanding of the photo-assistance process, this study solves this problem by optimizing the condition for light illumination and the scan range of C-V measurements. The obtained results on shallow traps, to which the Terman method is limited, are consistent with those by the latter. A guideline for accurate measurements will also be proposed.
