The result of N, P and P + N implantations performed at room temperature in 6H-SiC has been comparatively evaluated. Using micro-Raman spectroscopy we focus on the change in bulk LO-phonon intensity as a function of ions and ion-fluency. We find that the effective damage cross section for phosphorus is about 30% larger than the one for nitrogen. After annealing, good recovery is found but atomic force microscopy still evidences increased surface roughness.Introduction All SiC polytypes display a unique combination of intrinsic material properties like a high thermal conductivity, a high physical stability of the chemical bond and a wide band gap. This makes them attractive to manufacture SiC devices operating at high power and high temperature in chemically aggressive environments. A main drawback is that, to perform selective area doping, ionimplantation is the only accessible technique.In the case of n-type doping, two different species can be used. One (nitrogen) substitutes for C atoms, the second (phosphorus) substitutes for Si. Both have relatively similar ionization energy (≈80 meV) but, according to recent literature data [1] and because of higher electron mobility at high dose, Pimplantation performed at elevated temperature seems to be a better choice. For industrial applications, room temperature implantation conditions are preferred and, in this work, we comparatively evaluate the lattice damage produced by N, P and (N+P) ions implanted at 300 K at doses ranging from 3.54 × 10 14 to 3.92 × 10 15 cm
