摘要
We find a high density of shallow slow interface states in n type 4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors using thermally stimulated current analysis. The energy distribution of the interface states is non-uniform and the interface state density is peaked approximately 0.14+/-0.03 eV below the conduction band edge. The majority of the interface states are slow with an electron capture cross section smaller than 10(-19) cm(2) at 175 K. Such states are absent in it type 6H-SiC MOS capacitors.
