We investigated deep levels in n-type 4H-SiC epitaxy layer of the Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) and Junction Barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes by using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The I-V characteristics of the JBS devices show ~100 times lower leakage current level than SBDs owing to the grid structures in JBS. The reliable responses of the diodes for deep level transient analysis showed from C-V characteristics. Several deep electron traps were revealed by DLTS measurements in epitaxial layers in 4H-SiC. In both types of diodes, the peaks corresponding to shallow energy levels were observed with slightly different values of 0.132 eV for JBS and 0.186 eV for SBDs. The two remarkable deep level peaks (J2 and J3) have been obtained with 0.257 eV and 0.273 eV in JBS, and they were analyzed to have a similar trap concentration of ~1014 cm-3. The comparison results showed that the defects could be related with device fabrication procedures such as ion-implantation and growth.
