摘要
The band alignment between 4H-SiC and atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) ZrO2 was investigated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The valence band of ZrO2 was found to be 0.52 +/- 0.1 eV below that of 4H-SiC. Considering the band gap of 5.6 and 3.26 eV for ALD-ZrO2 and 4H-SiC, respectively, a type-I heterojunction with a conduction band discontinuity (Delta E-C) of 1.82 +/- 0.1 eV is obtained. The results suggest that ZrO2 could be a good high-dielectric-constant insulator for n-type carriers in SiC-based devices. (C) 2015 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
