Gamma-ray irradiation effects on the electrical characteristics of 6H-SiC MOSFETs with annealed gate-oxide

Oshima, Takeshi; Lee, K. K.; Oi, Akihiko; Yoshikawa, Masahito; Ito, Hisayoshi

Gamma-ray irradiation effects on the electrical characteristics such as threshold voltage (V$$_{T}$$) and channel mobility ($$mu$$) for 6H-SiC MOSFETs were studied.The gate oxide of the MOSFETs were annealed in hydrogen at 700 $$^{o}$$ or steam at 800 $$^{o}$$ in fabrication process to improve the initial electrical characteristics of the MOSFETs.As for the hydrogen-annealed MOSFETs,V$$_{T}$$ was changed from 0.9V to 3.1 V by irradiation at 530kGy.$$mu$$ decreased after irradiation above 60 kGy. As for the steam-annealed MOSFETs,V$$_{T}$$ was changed from 2.7 to 3.3 V by irradiation at 530kGy.$$mu$$ decreased above 180 kGy. This indicates that radiation resistance for the steam-annealed MOSFETs is higher than that for the hydrogen-annealed MOSFETs.
