SiC MOS Capacitors with Different Gate-Oxide Annealing Processes and Their Interface Electrical Characteristics
The electrical characteristics and gate-oxide interface characteristics of SiC MOS capaci-tors are important criteria for evaluating and improving the manufacturing process of SiC MOS devices.The electrical characteristics and gate-oxide interface characteristics of SiC MOS capacitors treated with nitrogen plasma post-oxidation annealing(POA),nitrogen-hydrogen mixed plasma POA,nitrogen-hydrogen-oxygen mixed plasma POA and nitrogen-hydrogen-chlorine mixed plasma POA respectively were analyzed by sequentially testing the oxide insulation characteristics,interface-state density,bias tempe-rature stress instability(flat-band voltage shift under bias temperature stress),oxide trap charge density and mobile charge density of SiC MOS devices.The results show that the proposed method can systemati-cally evaluate the electrical characteristics and gate-oxide interface characteristics of SiC MOS capacitors.And the SiC MOS capacitor treated with nitrogen-hydrogen-chloride mixed plasma POA can meet the performance indicators of long-term operation at high temperature and large field strength.
