Outline of Final Research Achievements

For a better understanding of oxidation mechanism of silicon carbide (SiC), 1)Profiling of oxides on SiC, 2)Photoluminescence imaging of oxidized substrates, 3)Real-time observations of SiC oxidation processes have been performed. From result 1), we for the first time succeeded in the observation of “Si emission phenomenon” during oxidation of SiC from the oxidation interface to oxide. According to result 2), we found that there were stacking faults that are deformed by oxidation and there was a possibility that faults, which are similar to “oxidation-induced stacking fault” seen in Si oxidation, were also formed in Si oxidation. From result 3), a unified SiC oxidation model was established, and the formations of interface defect were simulated in terms of interface concentration of emitted Si and C atoms.
