Photoluminescence of Electron- and Neutron-Irradiated n-Type 6H-SiC

Abstract
n-type 6H-SiC materials irradiated with electrons having energies of Ee=1.7,0.5,and 0.4MeV and neutrons are studied via low temperature photoluminescence.For Ee≥0.5MeV electron-irradiated and neutron-irradiated samples,the LTPL emission lines S1/S2/S3 at 478.6/483.3/486.1nm are observed for the first time.Thermal annealing studies show that the defects S1/S2/S3 disappear at 500℃.However,the well-known D1-center is only detected for annealing temperatures over 700℃.By considering the threshold displacement energies of Emin(C) and Emin(Si) and thermal annealing behavior,it is found that the defects S1/S2/S3 are a set of silicon-related primary defects and the D1-center is a kind of secondary defect.-
