摘要
The effects of gamma-ray irradiation on the performance of enhancement-type n-channel 6H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductors field effect transistors (MOSFETs) were Studied. The gate oxide of the 6H-SiC MOSFETs was fabricated using pyrogenic or dry oxidation process. Oxide-trapped charges and interface traps produced in the MOSFETs by irradiation are evaluated from changes in the subthreshold-current curve. II is found that the net numbers of radiation-induced oxide-trapped charges and interface traps depend on the oxidation process. From a comparison of radiation response between 6H-SiC and Si MOSFFTs, 6H-SiC MOSFETs are demonstrated to have higher radiation resistance. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
