Spectroscopic characterization of defects in SiC at low temperatures
SICSPEC
Partner Call open until: November 5, 2024
Project Start: Q1 2025
Understanding defects in SiC is relevant during fabrication of integrated SiC-based devices and also because of their potential use as quantum-elements for quantum technology applications.
The best method to univocally identify such defects is fluorescence spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. Within this project, such a set-up shall be installed, and corresponding measurements shall be performed.
- Florescence measurements on SiC samples with laser excitation
- Integration of a closed-cycle He-cryostat in the set-up and measurements at 4K
Expected results
- We expect to retrieve high quality low temperature spectra, which will allow the identification of defects ins SiC and other semiconductors.
