Abstract

The semiconductor SiC is of great interest for high temperature and high power applications due to its high saturation velocity of electrons, high break down field, high thermal conductivity, and wide band gap. It is convenient to compare and contrast surface density measurement techniques on such an important substrate. Vertical 4H-SiC metal oxide semiconductor diodes were demonstrated utilizing SiO 2 as the gate oxide. The Terman, AC, quasistatic, and HiLo methods, were used to extract surface state densities from the SiC 2/SiC interface. Surface state densities from 10 12 to 10 11 cm -2 eV -1 were observed.
