摘要
DLTS measurements show bistable behavior of the previously reported EH5 peak in low- and high-energy electron irradiation 4H-SiC. Both reconfiguration processes (A -> B and B -> A) take place above 700 degrees C. By isothermal annealing, the reconfiguration rates were determined and the reconfiguration energy was calculated to E-A = 2.4 +/- 0.2 eV. Since the defect is present already after low-energy electron irradiation, which mainly affects the C atom in SiC, the EH5 peak may be related to defects associated with C-vacancies or C-interstitials.
