ABSTRACTTransport of the hydrogen-related, acceptor-compensating defect has been observed in reverse-bias annealed Al-gate Schottky and n+-P diodes from hydrogenated, B-doped p-Si. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profiling (deuterium substitution) confirmed field-aided migration. Significant differences in field transport (and thermal diffusion) between diodes from Hand D-treated p-Si(B) qualitatively indicates a monatomic species. The effect is interpreted as field drift of a positively charged species, possibly H+, with a donor charge state in the upper-half band gap, in conflict with long-held theory predicting very deep level activity. Acceptor compensation is unstable under minority (electron) carrier injection by forward bias or illumination at 25°C, supporting the acceptor-protonic trap pair model (A-H+) of Sah, Pan and Hsu [J. Appl. Phys. 57, 5148 (1985)].

We applied a picosecond transient grating technique for studies of nonequilibrium carrier dynamics in differently grown or doped SiC polytypes. Optical carrier injection in 4H-SiC at two different wavelengths (266 and 355 nm) allowed us to vary the depth of the photoexcited region and determine photoelectric parameters of high density (from ~1016 to ~1019 cm-3) carrier plasma in the temperature range 10 – 300 K. A strong decrease of carrier lifetime with increasing nonequlibrium carrier density was found in 4H-SiC samples at 300 K and fitted by bimolecular recombination with coefficient B = 3 × 10-11 cm3 s-1. In 3C-SiC epilayers, the opposite tendency was observed over a wide temperature range and attributed to recharging of defect states.
