An SiC surface nitridation kinetic model was build up
considering the reaction rates of N-incorporation (Nr) and N-removal (k). According to our model, the saturated surface N density (AN) is determined by the ratio Nr/k. Based on this model, the effects of the annealing temperature (T) and O2 partial pressure on the saturated AN for 4H-SiC(0001) were investigated for high-T N2 annealing systematically. Experimentally, the saturated AN was observed to increase with T but decrease with the O2 partial pressure, which is understandable by considering our model.
