With the Monte Carlo simulator TRIM, the ion implantation range, location of peak concentration and longitudinal straggling of carbon are calculated. The process for improving deep energy level in undoped 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layer by three times carbon ion-implantation is proposed, including implantation energy, dose, the SiO2 resist mask, annealing temperature, annealing time and annealing protection. The deep energy level in 4H-SiC material can be significantly improved by implantation of carbon atoms into a shallow surface layer. The damage of crystal lattice can be repaired well, and the carbon ions are effectively activated after 1 600 ℃ annealing, meanwhile, deep level defects are decreased.展开更多
