Nitrogen-doped n-type 4H-Silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial layers were irradiated with electrons at 250 keV. Carbon vacancy (V$$_{C}$$) signals at both the h and k sites were studied using photoexitation Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (photo-EPR) and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS). As a result, double negative charge states of V$$_{C}$$, showing its negative-U system were revealed. By the direct correlation between EPR and DLTS data, it was concluded that Z$$_{1}$$ is V$$_{C}$$ at h site and Z$$_{2}$$ is V$$_{C}$$ at k site. In addition, we concluded that EH$$_{7}$$ is a single donor level of V$$_{C}$$.
