Abstract
We present a detailed characterization of deep traps present in buried gate, n-channel 6H-SiC JFETs, based on transconductance measurements as a function of frequency. Four different deep levels have been identified, which are characterized by activation energies of 0.16, 0.18, 0.28, and 0.54 eV. Furthermore, based on the transconductance frequency dispersion features (upward or downward dispersion), we have been able to infer that three deep levels (0.16, 0.18 and 0.54 eV) are hole traps localized in the p-gate layer and one (0.28 eV) is an electron trap localized in the n-channel.Keywords
