説明

<jats:p>We investigated the relationship between the dislocation velocity and the injected carrier concentration on the expansion of single Shockley-type stacking faults by monitoring the electroluminescence from 4H-SiC PiN diodes with various anode Al concentrations. The injected carrier concentration was calculated using a device simulation that took into account the measured accumulated charge in the drift layer during diode turn-off. The dislocation velocity was strongly dependent on the injected hole concentration, which represents the excess carrier concentration. The activation energy of the dislocation velocity was quite small (below 0.001 eV between 310 and 386 K) over a fixed range of hole concentrations. The average threshold hole concentration required for the expansion of bar-shaped single Shockley-type stacking faults at the interface between the buffer layer and the substrate was determined to be 1.6–2.5 × 1016 cm−3 for diodes with a p-type epitaxial anode with various Al concentrations.</jats:p>
