We propose a method to accurately determine the surface potential (psi S) based on depletion capacitance, and the interface state density (D-IT) was evaluated based on the difference between quasi-static and theoretical capacitances in SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (C-psi S method). We determined that this method gives accurate values for psi S and D-IT. From the frequency dependence of the capacitance measured at up to 100 MHz, a significant fast-interface-state response exists at 1 MHz, which results in the overestimation of psi S if it is determined based on the flatband capacitance at 1 MHz. The overestimation of psi S directly affects the accuracy of the energy level. D-IT at a specific energy level is underestimated by the overestimation of psi S. Furthermore, the fast interface states that respond at 1 MHz cannot be detected by the conventional high(1 MHz)-low method. The C-psi S method can accurately determine the interface state density including the fast states without high-frequency measurements. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3673572]
