Defects in Al-doped p-type 4H-SiC were investigated using admittance spectroscopy (AS). Also, defects in 4H-SiC irradiated with electrons and He ions were studied using AS. As a result, a shallow level with activation energy at 170 meV was found and is has the capture cross section of 3.5$$times$$10$$^{-16}$$/cm$$^{2}$$ which is extremely low value. The concentration of the defect did not change even after electron and He irradiations. Also, the defect can be found after annealing at 1800 $$^{circ}$$C. Therefore, we can conclude that the defect is a very stable intrinsic defect in SiC.
