ABSTRACTAlN films with thicknesses from 53 to 79 nm were deposited on 6H-SiC substrates via Plasma Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (PSMBE). The influence of deposition temperature on the growth mode and film roughness was assessed. The optical constants of the films in the range 0.73-8.75 eV were determined using spectroscopic ellipsometry. Pt/AlN/6H-SiC MIS structures were created and current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were performed at room temperature and at 250°C. Most of the MIS structures showed rectifying I-V characteristics regardless of growth temperature. A 120-nm-thick AlN film was deposited at 500°C. MIS structures created on this film showed a very low leakage current densities of 6×10−8 A/cm2. The dielectric constant of the film was estimated at approximately 9. The relation between film structure and electrical properties of the films is discussed.
