Aluminium oxide and titanium oxide films were deposited using the Atomic Layer Deposition method on n-type 4H SiC and p-type Si {001} substrates, with doping 6×1015cm-3 and 2×1016cm-3, respectively, and on 1.2 kV PiN 4H SiC diodes for passivation studies. The Al2O3 and SiC interface was characterised for the existence of an effective negative charge with a density of 1×1012-2×1012 cm-2. The dielectric constant of Al2O3 as determined from capacitance-voltage data was about 8.3. The maximum electric field supported by the Al2O3 film was up to 7.5 MV/cm and 8.4 MV/cm on SiC and Si, respectively.

This work reports on the growth and characterization of Al2O3 films on 4H-SiC, by Plasma Enhanced-Atomic Layer Deposition (PE-ALD). Different techniques were used to investigate the morphological, structural and electrical features of the Al2O3 films, both with and without the presence of a thin SiO2 layer, thermally grown on the 4H-SiC before ALD. Capacitance-voltage measurements on MOS structures resulted in a higher dielectric constant (ε~8.4) for the Al2O3/SiO2/SiC stack, with respect to that of the Al2O3/SiC sample (ε~ 6.7). Moreover, C<em>urrent density-Electric Field</em> measurements demonstrated a reduction of the leakage current and an improvement of the breakdown behaviour in the presence of the interfacial thermally grown SiO2. Basing on these preliminary results, possible applications of ALD-Al2O3 as gate insulator in 4H-SiC MOSFETs can be envisaged.
