Atomic structures and electronic properties of different interface types at Al/c-SiO2 interfaces

Baonan Jia et al.

Summary: First-principle methods were used to study the atomic structures and electronic properties of different Al/crystal-SiO2 interface types. It was found that O interface models have larger interface energy, higher stability, and a greater electron potential barrier height compared to Si interface and SiO interface models. Band diagrams revealed that O interface models have a smaller virtual oxide thinning thickness, making them more resistant to dielectric breakdown than Si interface and SiO interface models.

Effect of surface treatments on ALD Al2O3/4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors

I. U. Jayawardhena et al.

Summary: Silicon carbide (4H) based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors offer capabilities in high power and high temperature that silicon cannot achieve. This research investigates the use of deposited Al2O3 dielectrics instead of thermal oxidation, resulting in improved electronic properties. The optimal structure involves preparation of a nitrided surface through NO annealing, hydrogen exposure, and Al2O3 deposition, leading to high inversion layer field-effect mobilities. Leakage currents and interface breakdown are also observed in various Al2O3/4H-SiC MOS structures.

Atomistic Mechanism of 4H-SiC/SiO2 Interface Carrier-Trapping Effects on Breakdown-Voltage Degradation in Power Devices

Peng Dong et al.

Summary: The study investigates the SiC/SiO2 interface defects of 4H-SiC gate turn-off (GTO) thyristors before and after HTRB stress, revealing that the negatively charged interface defect is the main cause of the observed V-BD degradation. This research provides deep physical insights into the degradation of V-BD in high-voltage SiC devices under HTRB stress, and is crucial for optimization of device structure and oxidation technology for SiC/SiO2 interfaces.

Common-Mode EMI Mathematical Modeling Based on Inductive Coupling Theory in a Power Module With Parallel-Connected SiC MOSFETs

Xiliang Chen et al.

Summary: This article proposes a mathematical modeling method for EMI source generation and common mode interference propagation for parallel-connected SiC MOSFET power modules. The effects of different decoupling capacitance values and changing coupling inductance ratios on EMI sources are compared and analyzed. A self-made 1.2-kV 160-A PMPSM based on EMI optimized layout is tested, verifying the feasibility and validity of the proposed power module and theoretical analysis.

Adhesion strength and bonding mechanism of γ-Fe (111)/α-Al2O3 (0001) interfaces with different terminations

Renwei Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ideal work of adhesion, interfacial energy, charge density, charge density difference and partial density of states at the γ-Fe (111)/α-Al2O3 (0001) interface using first-principles calculations. Three different interface types were identified, with the O-terminated interface exhibiting the highest bonding strength. The electron concentration order was found to be O->Al2->Al1-terminated, reflecting differences in interactions at the interface.

High-k dielectrics for 4H-silicon carbide: present status and future perspectives

Amna Siddiqui et al.

Summary: 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) has promise for high power, high temperature, and radiation prone environments due to its superior material and electrical properties. The use of SiO2 in 4H-SiC technologies is not ideal due to poor SiO2/4H-SiC interface quality and low dielectric constant, leading to efforts to use high-kappa dielectrics like Al2O3, AlN, HfO2 to overcome this issue and improve device performance. This paper assesses the current status and future perspective of high-kappa dielectrics on 4H-SiC devices based on structural, electrical, and interfacial characteristics.
