Threshold voltage (VTH) instability, channel mobility and oxide reliability have been investigated for meta-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures on 4H-SiC (11-20) face using various gate oxidation procedures. Channel mobility of n-channel MOSFET with a gate oxide by pyrogenic oxidation is higher than that by dilute-DRY oxidation followed by a nitrous oxide (N2O) post-oxidation annealing (POA). On the other hand, oxide reliability for the pyrogenic oxides is poor compared with the dilute-DRY/N2O oxides. A Hydrogen POA is effective in an improvement of channel mobility for both oxides, but causes a harmful effect on VTH stability. Temperature dependence of VTH instability indicates that MOS structure grown by dilute-DRY followed by N2O POA is suitable for a practical use of SiC MOS power devices.
