Channeling in 4H-SiC from an Application Point of View

Article Preview

Abstract:

During ion implantation into monocrystalline semiconductors, some of the implanted atoms will be deflected to crystal directions along which they may penetrate deeply into the crystal. We investigate such channeling effects for Al and N implantation into 4H-SiC by Monte Carlo simulations. The focus of the work is on the effects of channeling on doping profiles, the relevance for the net doping of typical power electronic devices, and the influence of scattering oxides.
