  • Patent number: 11183385
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for passivating a silicon carbide epitaxial layer, relating to the technical field of semiconductors. The method includes the following steps: introducing a carbon source and a silicon source into a reaction chamber, and growing a silicon carbide epitaxial layer on a substrate; and turning off the carbon source, introducing a nitrogen source and a silicon source into the reaction chamber, and growing a silicon nitride thin film on an upper surface of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer. The silicon nitride thin film grown by the method has few defects and high quality, and may be used as a lower dielectric layer of a gate electrode in a field effect transistor. It does not additionally need an oxidation process to form a SiO2 dielectric layer, thereby reducing device fabrication procedures.
