Popis: Nitrogen was implanted into p-type β-SiC at implantation temperatures between 300 K and 1473 K. The implanted samples were characterized by Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) and electrically by resistivity and Hall measurements. The analysis was done with as-implanted samples and with samples that were annealed at 1473 K in a nitrogen atmosphere or in a vacuum. The implantation profiles did not show a significant dependence on the implantation temperature whereas the number of active dopants increased when the implantation temperature was raised. The electron mobility was also higher for high implantation temperatures, indicating a decrease in the implantation damage with increasing Timpl. As expected for the samples with Timpl < Tanneal, the annealing step caused a further rise in the number of electrically active dopants. The trend of electrical activation and the electron mobilities increasing with a higher implantation temperature remained unchanged also after the annealing step.
