Abstract
Effects of pre-oxidation NH/sub 3/ treatment and post-oxidation N/sub 2/O annealing on n-SiC/SiO/sub 2/ interface properties were investigated as compared to conventional thermally-oxidized devices. It was found that NH/sub 3/ treatment before oxidation is beneficial for the interface-quality improvement. Moreover, the combination of NH/sub 3/ treatment with N/sub 2/O annealing can further harden the SiC/SiO/sub 2/ interface, enhancing its resistance against high-field and high-temperature stressings.
