摘要
Threading dislocations (TD's) in a 4H-SiC MOSFET were characterized using transmission electron microscopy with special emphasis of their effects on leakage in a p-n junction. Two types of TD's were identified; a threading near-screw dislocation (TnSD) with b - [0 0 0 1] + 1/3 < 1 1 (2) over bar0 >, and a threading mixed dislocation (TMD) with b = [0 0 0 1] + < 1 (1) over bar0 0 >, the last of which has been found for the first time in this study. The TnSD show only negligibly small leakage, while TMD shows a large leakage. Origins of the difference in the degree of the leakage have been discussed.
