Abstract:
Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) has been used to study $p$–$n$ junctions fabricated by implantation of boron into epitaxial 4H-SiC films with $n$-type conductivity and the donor concentration (8–9) $\times$ 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-3}$. A DLTS signal anomalous in sign is observed; this signal is related to recharging of deep compensating boron-involved centers in the n-type region near the metallurgical boundary of the $p$–$n$ junction.
