摘要
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to study the annealing behavior of the positively charged carbon vacancy (EI5 center) in electron-irradiated 4H-SiC. At similar to1000degreesC the EPR signal of the defect starts decreasing gradually. Clear ligand hyperfine structure is still observed after annealing at 1350degreesC, while the central line can be detected after a 1600degreesC anneal. A similar annealing behavior was also observed for the EI6 center suggesting that this defect may be also the positively charged carbon vacancy but at the hexagonal lattice site.
