Abstract
The mechanism of dielectric breakdown of oxide on step-bunching of 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) was investigated. Comparing the surface morphology obtained before forming metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor and optical emission on the capacitor under electrical stress, it was cleared that current concentrates on step-bunching and it often caused preferential dielectric breakdown. Based on TEM analysis and the observation of time dependence of emission under the stress, a new model was proposed to explain the dielectric breakdown on step-bunching.
