摘要: Electrical properties of p−-Si/n−-SiC, p-Si/n−-SiC, p+-Si/n−-SiC, and n+-Si/n−-SiC heterojunctions fabricated by using surface-activated bonding are investigated. Their flat-band voltages obtained from capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements found to be ∼0.92 eV, which suggests that the Fermi level should pinned at interface. An analysis charge neutral model reveals C-V characteristics sensitive density interface states. The measured p+-Si/n−-SiC junctions in quantitative agreement with modeled ones for states conduction-band discontinuity 2.3 × 1013 cm−2 eV−1 0.3 eV, respectively.
