Epitaxial defectivity characterization combining surface voltage and photoluminescence mapping

Abstract

Charge biased non-Contact Voltage imaging, QUAD (Quality Uniformity And Defects) is measured on epitaxial layers grown on 25 wafers of 200 [mm] 4H-SiC. Electrical data is analyzed and deviations in the ΔV signal are compared with defectivity observed by the optical surface detection system with UV-PL capability. Reliable statistical data of the relationship between decreasing voltage and defect classification show good detection of triangles and several other defects in the epitaxial layers. The QUAD mapping gives a good first indication of the electrical active defectivity of an epitaxial layer.
