Abstract

An analysis of fast and slow traps at the interface of 4H–SiC with oxides grown in O2, N2O, and NO reveals that the dominant positive effect of nitridation is due to a significant reduction of the slow electron trap density. These traps are likely to be related to defects located in the near-interfacial oxide layer. In addition, the analysis confirms that the fast interface states related to clustered carbon are also reduced by nitridation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
