4H-SiC同质外延生长Grove模型研究

本文通过对4H-SiC同质外延化学反应和生长条件的分析,建立了4H-SiC同质外延生长的Grove模型,并结合实验结果进行了分析和验证.通过理论分析和实验验证,得到了外延中氢气载气流量和生长温度对4H-SiC同质外延生长速率的影响.研究表明:外延生长速率在衬底直径上为碗型分布,中心的生长速率略低于边缘的生长速率;随着载气流量的增大,生长速率由输运控制转变为反应速率控制,生长速率先增大而后逐渐降低;载气流量的增加,会使高温区会发生漂移,生长速率的理论值和实验出现一定的偏移;随着外延生长温度的升高,化学反应速率和气相转移系数都会增大,提高了外延速率;温度对外延反应速率的影响远大于对生长质量输运的影响,当温度过分升高后,外延生长会进入质量控制区;但过高的生长温度导致源气体在生长区边缘发生反应,生成固体粒子,使实际参与外延生长的粒子数减少,降低了生长速率,且固体粒子会有一定的概率落在外延层上,严重影响外延层的质量.通过调节氢气流量,衬底旋转速度和生长温度,可以有效的控制外延的生长速度和厚度的均匀性.     

N型4H-SiC低温拉曼光谱特性

利用拉曼散射技术对N型4H-SiC单晶材料进行了30～300 K温度范围的光谱测量。实验结果表明,随着温度的升高,N型4H-SiC单晶材料的拉曼峰峰位向低波数方向移动,峰宽逐渐增宽。分析认为,晶格振动随着温度的升高而随之加剧,其振动恢复力会逐渐减小,使振动频率降低;原子相对运动会随温度的升高而加剧,使得原子之间及晶胞之间的相互作用减弱,致使声学模和光学模皆出现红移现象。随着温度的升高,峰宽逐渐增宽。这是由于随着温度的升高声子数逐渐增加,增加的声子进一步增加了散射概率,从而降低了声子的平均寿命,而声子的平均寿命与峰宽成反比,因此随着温度的升高峰宽逐渐增宽。声子模强度随温度升高呈现不同规律,E₂(LA),E₂(TA),E₁(TA)和A₁(LA)声子模随着温度升高强度单调增加,而E₂(TO),E₁(TO)和A₁(LO)声子模强度出现了先增后减的明显变化,在138 K强度出现极大值。分析认为造成原因是由于当温度高于138 K时,高能量的声子分裂成多个具有更低能量的声子所致。     

Simulation study of a mixed terminal structure for 4H-SiC merged PiN/Schottky diode

In this paper, a mixed terminal structure for the 4H-SiC merged PiN/Schottky diode (MPS) is investigated, which is a combination of a field plate, a junction termination extension and floating limiting rings. Optimization is performed on the terminal structure by using the ISE-TCAD. Further analysis shows that this structure can greatly reduce the sensitivity of the breakdown voltage to the doping concentration and can effectively suppress the effect of the interface charge compared with the structure of the junction termination extension. At the same time, the 4H-SiC MPS with this termination structure can reach a high and stable breakdown voltage.     

A CAD oriented quasi-analytical large-signal drain current model for 4H-SiC MESFETs

This paper reports that a 4H-SiC MESFET (Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) large signal drain current model based on physical expressions has been developed to be used in CAD tools. The form of drain current model is based on semi-empirical MESFET model, and all parameters in this model are determined by physical parameters of 4H-SiC MESFET. The verification of the present model embedded in CAD tools is made, which shows a good agreement with measured data of large signal DC I-V characteristics, PAE (power added efficiency), output power and gain.     

4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes with semi-insulating polycrystalline silicon field plate termination

Based on the theoretical analysis of the 4H-SiC Schottky-barrier diodes(SBDs) with field plate termination, 4H-SiC SBD with semi-insulating polycrystalline silicon(SIPOS) FP termination has been fabricated. The relative dielectric constant of the SIPOS dielectric first used in 4H-SiC devices is 10.4, which is much higher than that of the SiO2dielectric,leading to benefitting the performance of devices. The breakdown voltage of the fabricated SBD could reach 1200 V at leakage current 20 μA, about 70% of the theoretical breakdown voltage. Meanwhile, both of the simulation and experimental results show that the length of the SIPOS FP termination is an important factor for structure design.     

Fabrication and characterization of the normally-off N-channel lateral 4H–SiC metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors

In this paper, the normally-off N-channel lateral 4H–Si C metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors(MOSFFETs) have been fabricated and characterized. A sandwich-(nitridation–oxidation–nitridation) type process was used to grow the gate dielectric film to obtain high channel mobility. The interface properties of 4H–Si C/SiO_2 were examined by the measurement of HF I–V, G–V, and C–V over a range of frequencies. The ideal C–V curve with little hysteresis and the frequency dispersion were observed. As a result, the interface state density near the conduction band edge of 4H–Si C was reduced to 2 × 10~(11) e V~(-1)·cm~(-2), the breakdown field of the grown oxides was about 9.8 MV/cm, the median peak fieldeffect mobility is about 32.5 cm~2·V~(-1)·s~(-1), and the maximum peak field-effect mobility of 38 cm~2·V~(-1)·s~(-1) was achieved in fabricated lateral 4H–Si C MOSFFETs.

利用Sentaurus搭建了碳化硅漂移阶跃恢复二极管（DSRD）与雪崩整形二极管（DAS）全电路仿真模型,研究了碳化硅等离子体器件在脉冲锐化方面的能力,并且通过器件内部等离子浓度分布解释了这两种器件实现脉冲锐化的机制。借助碳化硅DSRD可以将峰值超过千伏的电压脉冲的前沿缩短到300 ps;碳化硅DSRD与DAS的组合可以输出脉冲前沿在35 ps、峰值超过2 kV的电压脉冲。仿真与实验发现当触发脉冲与碳化硅DAS匹配时,可以实现快速开启后快速关断,得益于碳化硅DAS这种神奇现象,可以将峰值在两千伏以上脉冲的半高宽缩小到百皮秒量级;通过频谱分析发现脉冲经过DAS整形后,其最高幅值−30 dB对应的频谱带宽扩大了37倍,达到7.4 GHz。     

Effect of NO annealing on charge traps in oxide insulator and transition layer for 4H-SiC metal–oxide–semiconductor devices

The effect of nitric oxide(NO) annealing on charge traps in the oxide insulator and transition layer in n-type4H–Si C metal–oxide–semiconductor(MOS) devices has been investigated using the time-dependent bias stress(TDBS),capacitance–voltage(C–V),and secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS).It is revealed that two main categories of charge traps,near interface oxide traps(Nniot) and oxide traps(Not),have different responses to the TDBS and C–V characteristics in NO-annealed and Ar-annealed samples.The Nniotare mainly responsible for the hysteresis occurring in the bidirectional C–V characteristics,which are very close to the semiconductor interface and can readily exchange charges with the inner semiconductor.However,Not is mainly responsible for the TDBS induced C–V shifts.Electrons tunneling into the Not are hardly released quickly when suffering TDBS,resulting in the problem of the threshold voltage stability.Compared with the Ar-annealed sample,Nniotcan be significantly suppressed by the NO annealing,but there is little improvement of Not.SIMS results demonstrate that the Nniotare distributed within the transition layer,which correlated with the existence of the excess silicon.During the NO annealing process,the excess Si atoms incorporate into nitrogen in the transition layer,allowing better relaxation of the interface strain and effectively reducing the width of the transition layer and the density of Nniot.
