Capacitance transient study of a bistable deep level in e$$^{-}$$-Irradiated n-type 4H-SiC

A bistable center, named FB center, in electron irradiated 4H-SiC was observed using capacitance transient techniques. In configuration called "$$A$$", the deep level known as EH5 ($$E$$$$_{a}$$ = $$E$$$$_{C}$$ - 1.07 eV) is detected in the deep level transient spectroscopy spectrum, whereas for configuration called "$$B$$", no obvious deep level is observed in the accessible part of the band gap. Isochronal annealing revealed that the transition temperatures to be from $$A$$ to $$B$$ is more than 730K, and for the opposite process from $$B$$ to $$A$$ is about 710 K. The energy needed to conduct the transformations were determined to be $$E$$$$_{A}$$($$A$$ to $$B$$) = (2.1 $$pm$$ 0.1) eV and $$E$$$$_{A}$$($$B$$ to $$A$$) = (2.3 $$pm$$ 0.1) eV, respectively. Since the bistable FB centre is already present after low-energy electron irradiation (200 keV), it is likely related to carbon.
