Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to reduce the high on-resistance of SiC power MOSFETs, it is important to establish a new method to obtain high channel mobility in SiC MOSFETs. In this study, we proposed a new method to reduce the interface state density and obtain high channel mobility. In this method, boron (B) atoms are incorporated into the SiO2/SiC interface. By this method, the interface state density was significantly reduced and high field-effect mobility up to 102 cm2/Vs was obtained. We also investigated the mechanisms of the effect of incorporating other elements, and proposed that the relaxation of interface stress is important for improving interface quality.
