摘要
This paper investigates the origin of the fixed positive oxide charge often experimentally observed in Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) structures of SiO2 formed on cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC). The electrical properties of MOS structures including either thermally grown SiO2 or deposited SiO2 by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD) on epitaxial 3C-SiC layers grown directly on Si are investigated. MOS structures with a range of oxide thickness values subjected to different thermal treatments were studied. It was found that both thermally grown and deposited SiO2 on 3C-SiC exhibit similar positive charge levels indicating that the charge originates from interface states at the 3C-SiC surface and not from the oxide. The nature of this surface charge in the SiO2/3C-SiC system is also discussed based on the current data and previously published results. (C) 2018 Author(s).
