Title: Combination investigation of optical and structural properties on ion implanted 4H-SiC
Abstract:
Part 1: High energy (2.1 MeV) vanadium ions (V+) was implanted into p- and n-type 4H-Silicon Carbide (SiC) at room temperature, followed by high temperature annealing at 1450 and 1650 oC. Dopant redistribution after annealing was revealed by SIMS. Different V diffusion phenomena were observed in the shallow and deep half-profile region. Dislocations accumulated in deep region enhanced V diffusion significantly in contrast to small out-diffusion effect in shallow region during 1450 and 1650oC annealing. V diffusion coefficient at 1650 oC is derived (4.5x10-14 cm-2/s) using Pearson IV model. Part 2: Multiple energies Al+ and C+ co-implantations were performed into 4H-SiC epitaxial layers at RT. Both the amorphization/lattice disorder induced by RT implantation, and a partial recrystallization and a concomitant thinning of the amorphous layer after high temperature annealing were evidenced by IR reflectance and Raman scattering. SIMS provides useful information on the redistribution of dopants after high temperature annealing.
