The diffusion and passivating effect of hydrogen in SiC are
studied in epitaxial layers of p-type SiC. Loading with
hydrogen (1H or 2H) is done by low-energy ion implantation
(energy in the order of 300 eV per atom) to minimize the
creation of implantation defects which are known to trap
hydrogen effectively. The electrically active dopants B and Al
are characterized by CV profiling and admittance spectroscopy on
Schottky diodes; deep levels are monitored by DLTS. For several
2H-passivated samples, the chemical hydrogen profile is measured
by SIMS; it correlates well with the depth profile of passivated
acceptors derived from the CV-measurements [1]. Hydrogen
diffusion on a micrometer scale occurs already at room
temperature. Depending on implantation temperature (300...680 K)
and acceptor concentration, either a nearly homogenous partial
passivation or a step-like profile of completely passivated
acceptors is detected. In the latter case, a reduction of the
net acceptor concentration by up to 3 orders of magnitude occurs.
There is also a passivation of the deep level known as D-center
with a thermal stability exceeding 600 K.
