Abstract(in English) To realizing power-saving SiC MOSFET, it is needed to reduce the density of interface traps (Dit) between insulator and SiC. Oxygen radical treatment at room temperature on a deposited-Al2O3 gate insulator on 4H-SiC has been examined in order to improve the interface properties. We achieved the reduction of Dit by 5.6×1011 cm-2eV-1 at around EC-0.4 eV with an oxygen radical treatment more than 1 minute. The Dit near the conduction band edge decreases with increasing oxygen radical treatment time. We have investigated the relationship between Dit and chemical bonding states in detail. Si suboxides are formed between Al2O3 and SiC during Al2O3 deposition, and amount of these suboxides decreases after oxygen radical treatment.
