Defect engineering in SiC technology for high-voltage power devices
Open accessAbstract
Major features of silicon carbide (SiC) power devices include high blocking voltage, low on-state loss, and fast switching, compared with those of the Si counterparts. Through recent progress in the material and device technologies of SiC, production of 600–3300 V class SiC unipolar devices such as power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and Schottky barrier diodes has started, and the adoption of SiC devices has been demonstrated to greatly reduce power loss in real systems. However, the interface defects and bulk defects in SiC power MOSFETs severely limit the device performance and reliability. In this review, the advantages and present status of SiC devices are introduced and then defect engineering in SiC power devices is presented. In particular, two critical issues, namely defects near the oxide/SiC interface and the expansion of single Shockley-type stacking faults, are discussed. The current physical understanding as well as attempts to reduce these defects and to minimize defect-associated problems are reviewed.

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.
