Formation of passivated layers in p-type SiC by low energy ion implantation of hydrogen
The mobility of hydrogen and its passivating effect on accepters in p-type SiC is investigated. Hydrogen (isotope H-1 or H-2 alternatively) is implanted at temperatures between 300 K and 680 K with low energy (300 eV per atom) in order to minimize implantation damage. The depth profiles of 2H and of passivated accepters correspond closely. Up to 500 K, a fully passivated layer with a well defined thickness is formed. Its depth ton the order of 1 micrometer) is investigated as a function of doping level and hydrogen fluence. At higher temperatures, the incorporation drastically increases, but the electrical passivation is partial only. Qualitative explanations are given.
