摘要
4H-SiC金属氧化物半导体(MOS)基器件在电子辐照环境下应用时可能产生新的材料缺陷,导致其电学性能发生退化。本文选取结构最简单的MOS基器件(4H-SiC MOS电容器)为对象,研究了一系列电子辐照剂量下材料缺陷的演变情况。在10 MeV电子束下对MOS样品进行30、50、100、500、1 000 kGy剂量的辐照,对辐照前、后样品进行深能级瞬态谱测试(DLTS)和电容-电压(C-V)曲线表征。DLTS实验结果表明,低剂量电子辐照前、后4H-SiC/SiO_(2)界面及近界面处的缺陷没有发生明显变化,而高剂量辐照导致双碳间隙原子缺陷的构型发生了改变,演变后的构型能级位置更深,化学结构更加稳定。C-V曲线测试结果发现,不同电子辐照剂量导致MOS电容器平带电压发生不同程度的负向漂移,这很可能是SiO_(2)氧化层中氧空位数量和4H-SiC/SiO_(2)界面及近界面处缺陷数量共同影响的结果。本文研究结果对研发和优化抗电子辐照的4H-SiC MOS制备工艺具有一定的参考价值。
4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor(MOS)-based devices appear to worse electrical performance when exposed to electron irradiation,owing to the production of material defects.This study demonstrates an analysis of defect evolution of 4H-SiC MOS capacitors with the simplest structure,subjected to a series dose of electron irradiation with 10 MeV electron beam,including 30,50,100,500,1000 kGy.Deep level transient spectroscopy(DLTS)test and capacitance-voltage(C-V)measurement were used to obtain defects information among MOS samples pre-and post-irradiation.DLTS results present that a low dose of irradiation causes no evident impact on defect evolution near and at the 4H-SiC/SiO_(2) interface,whereas a high dose of irradiation makes a defect configuration of carbon interstitial dimer defect evolve into another more stable one at a deeper energy level.C-V curves show that different irradiation doses lead to different negative shift degrees of flat-band voltage.This is considered to be resulted from multiple factors,including oxygen vacancies in the SiO_(2) layer and defects near and at the 4H-SiC/SiO_(2) interface.This work might be helpful for the development and optimization of 4H-SiC MOS fabrication with respect to anti-irradiation performance.
