Abstract

Current SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) have regions of the gate electrode that overlaps the source/drain contact implant. The source/drain region is electrically isolated from this gate electrode extension by the gate insulator. Typically, the gate insulator is established through a controlled thermal oxidation step. The performance of the electrical isolation between the gate electrode and the source/drain implant region is studied using MOS systems for the nitrogen and phosphorus implant species. The dielectric strength of thermal oxide grown over a phosphorus implanted region is about four times lower than a non-implanted region and about two times lower than the nitrogen implanted region for the same implant and anneal conditions.
