Abstract

In this study, the electrical characteristics of the nickel (Ni)/carbon nanotube (CNT)/$SiO_2$ structures were investigated in order to analyze the mechanism of CNT in MOS device structures. We fabricated 4H-SiC MOS capacitors with or without CNTs. CNT was dispersed by isopropyl alcohol. The capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) are characterized. Both devices were measured by Keithley 4200 SCS. The experimental flatband voltage ($V_{FB}$) shift was positive. Near-interface trap charge density ($N_{it}$) and negative oxide trap charge density ($N_{ox}$) value of CNT embedded MOS capacitors was less than that values of reference samples. Also, the leakage current of CNT embedded MOS capacitors is higher than reference samples. It has been found that its oxide quality is related to charge carriers and/or defect states in the interface of MOS capacitors.
