Abstract

Deep levels in 6H-SiC wafers implanted with Al+ ions at high-temperature were studied using current deep level transient spectroscopy (iDLTS). Aluminum was implanted at a temperature of 1800 °C with an energy of 40 keV and a dose of 2 × 1016 cm−2 into n-type epitaxial layers with different carrier concentration. Four levels were found, at Ec−0.12, Ec−0.13, Ec−1.06 and Ev+0.35 eV. It was established that modification of the carrier concentration in original ntype 6H-SiC epitaxial layers affects the deep levels concentration. The relationship between the thickness of the space charge region and the relative deep level concentration was considered.
