Monitoring on Creation and Annihilation of Interface Trap Levels with NO Oxidation, Re-Oxidation and N2 Annealing with Conductance Measurements

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have determined, using the Conductance-Frequency (G-ω) Technique, the creation and annihilation process of the 3 interface trap levels (OX, OX’ and NI levels) previously reported [1-3] and their possible correlation to inversion electron trapping and mobilities. The measurements were carried out on various 4H-SiC Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) capacitors that have been processed using several gate oxide processes [2,5,6]. Our analysis focus on the correlation of the interface trap levels on the process conditions so as to first understand and then control their formation.
