This work is focusing on the effect of a high concentration of nitrogen (N) introduced by ion implantation at the SiO2/4H-SiC interface in MOS capacitors. The N implanted sample (Ninterface~ 1x1019cm-3) is compared with a non-implanted one (Ninterface~ 1x1016cm-3) by means of the electron interface trap density (Dit). The Dit is determined via High-Low frequency CV method and Thermal Dielectric Relaxation Current (TDRC) technique. It is shown that the TDRC method, mainly used so far for determination of near interface oxide charges, can be exploited to gain information about the Dit too. The determined value of Dit in the N-implanted sample is nearly one order of magnitude lower than that in the sample without N implantation. Good agreement between the TDRC results and those obtained from High-Low frequency CV measurements is obtained. Furthermore, the TDRC method shows a high accuracy …
