Popis: In this work, we analyze compensating defects which are formed after implantation of aluminum (Al) into n-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers and subsequent thermal annealing. These defects reduce the expected free charge carrier density by 84% for a low doped layer with [Al]impl≈ 9ž·1016cm-3and by 27 % for a high doped layer with [Al]impl≈ 2·ž1019cm-3. Furthermore, an electrical activation ratio of implanted aluminum ions of 100 % is calculated. The ionization energy of implanted aluminum as measured by Hall effect and admittance spectroscopy ranges from 101 meV to 305 meV depending on the doping concentration.
