摘要
The evolution of deep levels that depend upon annealing temperature is investigated for p-type 6 H SiC-Al Schottky barriers. Several samples, cut from the same wafer, have been annealed at 400degreesC, 600degreesC and 800degreesC, in air, while on one sample no annealing has been done. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) has been used to investigate deep levels in all four sets of samples. The results show that only electron traps can be detected in the temperature range 220-440 K. Defects with activation energies having values between 0.12-0.37eV are detected by DLTS.
