Popis: In this work, local oxidation behavior in phosphorous ion-implanted 4H-SiC has been investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The AFM-local oxidation (AFM-LO) has been performed on the implanted samples, with and without activation anneal, using an applied bias (~25 V). It has been clearly shown that the post-implantation annealing process at has a great impact on the local oxidation rate by electrically activating the dopants and by modulating the surface roughness. In addition, the composition of resulting oxides changes depending on the doping level of SiC surfaces.
