Abstract(in English) Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a promising material for high power and high frequency devices. However we cannot transfer these devices to practical use because of presence of crystal defects in the wafer. In this work, we have measured excess carrier decay curves in (0001) Si face epitaxial p-type 4H-SiC layers with the microwave photoconductivity decay (μ-PCD) method. Two pieces were irradiated by electron in order to control defect density. Excess carrier decayed fast for the sample that has high density of defects and the decays were also fast in the measurement with low injection level. We compare these decay curves to calculated decay curves. As a result, we considered that EH_<6/7> center is dominant for samples with low EH_<6/7>, Z_<1/2> center density and Z_<1/2> center is dominant for samples with high EH_<6/7>, Z_<1/2> center density.
