Abstract

Considerable effort has been devoted to studying the bias temperature instability (BTI) of SiC metal-oxidesemiconductor (MOS) devices to identify the effect of slower states from either charge trapping at SiC SiO2 interface or within gate insulator. However, since trap time constant related to both spatial or energy distribution, it's difficult to distinguish effects of interface states (Nit) and near-interface oxide traps (NITs). In this study, we evaluate the positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) of the gate oxide on 4 H-SiC up to 300° C and extract deep Nit down to EC-1.4 eV to identify the mechanism of PBTI of SiC MOS capacitors.
