摘要: The microwave plasma oxidation under the relatively high pressure (6 kPa) region is introduced into the fabrication process of SiO2/4H-SiC stack. By controlling the oxidation pressure, species, and temperature, the record low density of interface traps (~ 4×1010 cm-2·eV-1@Ec - 0.2 eV) is demonstrated on SiO2/SiC stack formed by microwave plasma oxidation. And high quality SiO2 with very flat interface (0.27-nm root-mean-square roughness) is obtained. High performance SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with peak field effect mobility of 44 cm-2·eV-1 is realized without additional treatment. These results show the potential of a high-pressure plasma oxidation step for improving the channel mobility in SiC MOSFETs.
