摘要
We investigated the relationship between the dislocation velocity and the injected carrier concentration on the expansion of single Shockley-type stacking faults by monitoring the electroluminescence from 4H-SiC PiN diodes with various anode Al concentrations. The injected carrier concentration was calculated using a device simulation that took into account the measured accumulated charge in the drift layer during diode turn-off. The dislocation velocity was strongly dependent on the injected hole concentration, which represents the excess carrier concentration. The activation energy of the dislocation velocity was quite small ( below 0.001 eV between 310 and 386 K) over a fixed range of hole concentrations. The average threshold hole concentration required for the expansion of bar-shaped single Shockley-type stacking faults at the interface between the buffer layer and the substrate was determined to be 1.6-2.5 x 10(16) cm(-3) for diodes with a p-type epitaxial anode with various Al concentrations.
