Modern society is increasingly dependentupon electrical appliances for comfort, transportation, and healthcare, motivating great advances in power generation, power distribution and power management technologies. These advancements owe their allegiance to enhancements in the performance of power devices that regulate the flow of electricity.

Measured and computed depth profilesof implanted Al in 4H‐SiC
Good control (≤ 10%) of the fluence (ions cm-2), or total amount of implanted atoms
using multiple implants and different doses, one has a large degree of freedom in designing ion depth profiles

The interplay of channeling and dechanneling
Trajectories of ions movingthrough a crystal maybe random(1), channeled (2), or they maybechanneled at the beginning, thenare dechanneled and becomerandom (3), or, just the oppositeway, i.e. they start as random andthen may become channeledafterwards (4), even along adirection not perpendicular to thesurface. The occurrence andrelative abundance of (1)-(4)events changes with changing thebeam-lattice orientation. Lookingat the depth distribution profile ofions we can observe thecontributions of all these differentpaths.,

2D simulation allows to evaluate the phenomenon of lateral under-maskpenetration, which in this case is rather pronounced and may haveconsequences on the electrical behavior of the final device.

Resistivity of Al+ implanted 4H‐SiC materials forConventional (CA) and microwave (MWA) annaling: RT data
2000°C MWA and 1950°C CA samples have comparableresistivity values over a large range of implanted Al+concentrations.
This allows us to hypothesizethat for MWA as for CA, the key parameter for the electrical activation of implanted Al+ is the temperature.

Temperature dependence of the resistivity
Resistivity = measured sheet resistance x thickness of the implanted layer by SRIM2008
Main results:
i) A semiconductor behavior is preserved up to the higher implanted Al concentration of 5 × 1020 cm‐3 because the temperature coefficientis always positive.
ii) an implanted Al concentration of 1.5 × 1020 cm‐3 is sufficient to obtain a p‐type material resistivity in the high 10‐2 Ωcm range at room temperature

Forward current –voltage characteristic
The Arrhenius plot of the zero voltagesaturation current for n= 2 shows a thermal activation energy of 1.7 eV. This feature of theI‐V curves may be attributed to carrierrecombination in the space charge region on defects that had to be very near to the 4H‐SiC mid‐gap, namely the EH7 center, recentlybeing identified as a negative‐U center of thecarbon vacancy .
![Page 34: Carburo di Silicio: materiale semiconduttore a larga gap per](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052607/589051741a28abbc288c3dfb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Reverse current –voltage characteristic
Clearly, two different thermal activation energies can be extracted for the two different families of diodes. Whereas the diode family annealed at 1650°C exhibits a defect with an activation energy of approximately 0.72eV below the conduction band, the diode family annealed at 1950°C shows evidence for a defect with an activation energy of 0.11eV below the conduction band.
