摘要
The authors have systematically investigated the effects of different annealing temperatures in Ar atmosphere on the SiO2/4H-SiC interfaces by scan electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Results show that the annealing temperatures are strongly correlated with the morphological and compositional changes of SiO2/4H-SiC interface. Annealing at 600 degrees C can significantly improve the quality of SiO2/4H-SiC interface. However, the sample annealed at 350 degrees C and 900 degrees C displays some particles. The reason for such improvement in the quality of the SiO2/4H-SiC interface after moderate temperature annealing at 600 degrees C can be explained by the formation and consumption of carbon clusters and silicon oxycarbides during annealing.
