The performance and reliability of silicon-based hetero-structure devices depend critically on their interfacial characteristics. Here we present high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) results for the a-SiC:H/c-Si (100) interface, substrate doping, and interface electrical characteristics derived from an Al/undoped a-SiC:H/p-Si metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure. The HRTEM study reveals an interface with a maximum asperity of three atomic planes. The substrate dopant profile for depths less than an extrinsic Debye length from the interface is computed from an iterative fit to the C-V data. A density of interface traps (Dit) of 1011 eV−1cm−2 at midgap is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
