Abstract(in English) In this study, the inversion layer mobility of the Si-face 4H-SiC MOSFET with nitrided gate oxide is examined under a wide range of acceptor concentration, and the limiting factors of the inversion layer mobility are modeled on the basis of these results. The effect of Coulomb scattering on the inversion layer mobility can be universally understood that it is increased when the inversion carriers get closer to the SiO2/SiC interface. Moreover, the method to experimentally extract the carrier scattering mechanisms which limit the inversion layer mobility is proposed, where the effect of Coulomb scattering on the inversion layer mobility is controlled by the acceptor concentration. Here, the framework of scattering mechanisms in inversion layer of SiC MOSFETs is assumed to be like that of Si MOSFETs. On the basis of this method, dominant scattering mechanisms which limit the inversion layer mobility of SiC MOSFETs are found to be phonon and Coulomb scatterings. This possibly suggests that the inversion layer mobility of SiC MOSFETs can be modeled without significantly changing the conventional framework of Si MOSFETs.
