Modeling and Simulation of Electrical Activation of Acceptor-Type Dopants in Silicon Carbide

We propose an empirical model to predict electrical activation ratios of aluminium- and boron-implanted silicon carbide with respect to various annealing temperatures. The obtained parameters and model extensions are implemented into Silvaco’s Victory Process simulator to enable accurate predictions of post-implantation process steps. The thus augmented simulator is used for numerous simulations to evaluate the activation behavior of p-type dopants as well as for the full process simulation of a pn-junction SiC diode to extract the carrier and acceptor depth profiles and compare the results with experimental findings.
