Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho é estudada a viabilidade de produção de dispositivos eletrônicos baseados em filmes semicondutores de carbeto de silício estequiométrico (a-Si0,5C0,5:H) obtidos por deposição química por vapor assistida por plasma, PECVD. A proposta do projeto envolve a realização de uma série de trabalhos que permitam avaliar as potencialidades do a-SiC:H para a fabricação de dispositivos semicondutores simples. Deste modo, desenvolvemos as principais etapas para a construção de dispositivos, as quais envolveram a dopagem elétrica por diferentes técnicas com a utilização de diferentes elementos dopantes, a corrosão seletiva por plasma e a obtenção um dielétrico apropriado e compatível com a tecnologia do SiC, bem como o desenvolvimento de processos de cristalização, que podem se mostrar fundamentais para melhorar as propriedades dos filmes de a-SiC:H. Com tais processos aprimorados, fabricamos estruturas MOSiC (metal-óxidocarbeto de silício) a partir do SiC cristalizado, utilizando como dielétrico de porta o SiO2 crescido por oxidação térmica (seca e úmida) dos próprios filmes de carbeto de silício cristalizados. Essas estruturas apresentaram o comportamento típico de um capacitor MOS, com regiões de acumulação, depleção e inversão bem definidas em todos os casos. Também fabricamos heterojunções de filmes de SiC tipo-p (como depositado e tratado termicamente) sobre substratos de Si tipo-n, os quais mostraram boas caracterísitcas retificadoras para as heteroestruturas formadas pelo a-SiC:H como-depositado e tratado termicamente a 550ºC. Além do mais, também projetamos, fabricamos, modelamos e caracterizamos transistores de filme fino de a-SiC:H. De acordo com as caracterizações elétricas observamos que podemos controlar a condutividade do canal, embora os dispositivos ainda precisem ser aprimorados para se obter melhores níveis de corrente. Vemos, portanto que, embora ainda tenham que ser aperfeiçoados, foram construídos com sucesso dispositivos eletrônicos semicondutores baseados em filmes de a-Si0,5C0,5:H obtidos por PECVD.

Abstract in English
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 devices' fabrication, 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.
