RESUMO

In this work we studied the viability to build devices based on stoichiometric amorphous silicon carbide semiconductor films (a-Si0.5C0.5:H), obtained by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. The project proposal involves the realization of a series of studies that evaluate the potentialities of the a-SiC:H for the fabrication of simple semiconductor devices. In this way, we developed the main steps for the devicesfabrication, which involved electric doping, by different doping techniques using different doping sources, selective plasma etching and the obtention of an appropriate and compatible dielectric for SiC technology. Besides, we performed crystallization processes that were essential to improve the properties of the amorphous films. By establishing the processes steps, we manufactured MOSiC (metal-oxidesilicon carbide) structures starting from crystallized SiC and using SiO2 as the gate dielectric, which was obtained by thermal oxidation (wet and dry) of the crystallized silicon carbide films. All the structures presented a typical MOS capacitor behavior, with accumulation, depletion and inversion regions well-defined in all the cases. We also fabricated heterojunctions formed by p-type SiC films (as-deposited and annealed) on n-type silicon substrates that showed good rectifying characteristics for as-deposited and annealed at 550ºC a-SiC:H films. Moreover, we designed, manufactured, modeled and characterized a-SiC:H thin film transistors. The electric characterization demonstrated that it is possible to control the channel conductivity; however, the devices still need to be improved to obtain better current levels. Although some improvement still need to be made, we built successfully electronic semiconductor devices based on a-Si0.5C0.5:H films obtained at low temperatures by PECVD technique.
