In this work, we have investigated the characteristics of 4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices with silicon oxynitride (SiON) insulator using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). After post metallization annealing, the trap densities of the fabricated devices decreased significantly. In particular, the device annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ in forming gas ambient exhibited excellent MOS characteristics along with negligible hysteresis, which proved the potential of PECVD SiON as an alternative gate insulator for use in 4H-SiC MOS device.
