Abstract

We investigate the high density of shallow traps found at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface near the SiC conduction band edge by using constant-capacitance/conventional deep level transient spectroscopy. We find both fast and slow interface states and we estimate their electron capture cross sections to be less than 10-16 cm2 and 10-19 cm2 respectively.
