Stacking faults have been identified the killer defects in 4H-SiC power devices because of their impacts on the carrier lifetime. Stacking faults can be considered as polytype inclusions in 4H-SiC. Therefore, in this study, we characterized recombination coefficients for 3C- and 6H-SiC and compared with those for 4H-SiC.
