摘要
High spatial resolution of the photo-induced free carrier absorption (FCA) is carried out in n-type 4H SiC under a wide range of injection levels, 10(14)-10(18) cm(-3). Our results reveal a large surface recombination rate on the bare surface and on the n-n(+) interface. An actual carrier diffusion length of about 50 mu m and a mu s-long recombination lifetime were estimated. Shorter lifetimes have been deduced at high-level (HL) injection as compared to those at low-level (LL) injection.
