摘要
While the a- and m-faces of 4H-SiC have attracted increasing interest for SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor device applications, the electronic and/ or geometric structures of their SiC/SiO2 interfaces are still unknown. We constructed model structures of "defect-free" abrupt SiC/SiO2 interfaces. Even with C-O bonds at the interface and/or an uneven interfacial boundary, their electronic properties show only slight difference from those of the Si-face with a flat interface and no-interface C-O bonds. Our results offer a starting point for studying whether the smaller number of defects for a- and m-faces compared with the Si-face is related to the intrinsic properties of the interface or to oxidation processes.
