Abstract
Our message is oxidation process must be minimized as possible. Many carbon-related defect structures are reported in SiC/SiO2 interface. In this paper, we investigated the effect of oxidation to the defect forming by density functional theory (DFT). In the result, we found carbon defect structure that completely different from in the present report. This defect structure has carbon-carbon single bond with no dangling bond. To see the forming process, compressive strain from inserted oxygen atoms induce the rearrangement of structure and cause C-C defect structure. We can know that this structure is formed with energy gain about 3.8eV. And this C-C defect induces trap state under the conduction bottoms.
