X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of post-oxidation process effects on oxide/SiC interfaces
In this report, we carried out x-ray photoclectron spectroscopy measurements on slope shaped oxide films to explore the changes of interfacial structures by post oxidation processes. By the observation of Si2p, C1s and O1s spectra, the bonding states which influence the electrical properties of MOS structures were suggested to be bonds related to carbon. We also discuss the reasons for the improvement of MOS properties by these post oxidation processes.
