摘要
The effect of electron irradiation on n-4H-SiC is studied by the methods of capacitance-voltage characteristics and photoluminescence. The carrier-removal rate is found to be V (d) a parts per thousand 0.25 cm(-1). Total conductivity compensation in samples with an initial carrier concentration of (1-2) x 10(15) cm(-2) is observed at irradiation doses of similar to 5 x 10(15) cm(-2). Simultaneously with an increase in the compensation, a rise in the intensity of defect-related luminescence characteristic of 4H-SiC is observed. The sample parameters before irradiation and after irradiation and annealing are compared. The physical mechanisms of compensation in the samples under study are analyzed.
