Low-dose n-type nitrogen implants in 6H–SiC have been studied using the Hall effect. Previous studies of doping by implantation in SiC have concentrated on heavily doped layers such as required for transistor sources and drains. Here, we focus on more lightly doped layers, e.g., such as required for the active regions of high-voltage power devices. The low-dose N implants are found to activate more readily than high doses. Almost ideal N-implanted layers with a donor density of ∼1×1017/cm3 and a low residual acceptor density from implant damage of only ∼1.5×1015/cm3 have been obtained after a 1400 °C anneal.
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.
