Abstract

We report a comprehensive investigation on the effects of process variations on the inversion layer electron mobility of n-channel MOSFETs in 4H SiC. Experimental results show that: (1) a post-oxidation anneal in nitric oxide (NO) significantly increases mobility, (2) implant anneals at temperatures ≤ 1400 °C, polysilicon depositions at 900 °C. and contact anneals at 850 °C have no significant negative effect on channel mobility, and (3) gale material and deposition method (LPCVD polysilicon vs. sputtered Mo) has no significant effect on channel mobility.
