摘要: Abstract This paper reports on investigation of the gate edge effect interface trap density characteristics 3C–SiC MOS capacitors fabricated using four different materials and two SiO 2 oxide preparation methods. Non-uniform distribution densities under was demonstrated by presence effect, i.e. dependence D it ( E ) ratio perimeter to its area. The strength in gate/oxide material combinations studied found that depends thermal expansion coefficient adhesion layer layer. behaviour at shallow energy levels (0.25 eV) attributed reaction P b -centres mechanical stress. deeper documented but could not be explained this study.
