Abstract

The electrical properties of the SiO2/SiC interface were studied using the conductance vs voltage (G-V) data for the metal-oxide-SiC (MOS) structure. It was found that the dry oxide contained too mjch charge either at the oxide-SiC interface or within the oxide films to obtain useful data. On the other hand the wet oxide invariably resulted in better capacitance and conductance data. The capacitance-voltage data showed that the SiC surface exhibited accumulation, depletion or inversion when the appropriate gate bias was applied. The conductance-voltage data indicate electronic surface states at the oxide-SiC interface. From this conductance data the interface state density has been estimated.
