A N2 laser is used to excite carriers in the SiC layer. The measured decay curves of the excess carrier concentration have fast (τ?3 μs) and slow (τ>200 μs) components. The origin of the slow decay is discussed on the basis of the numerical simulation of the recombination process, and the presence of traps with a very small electron capture cross section (<1×10-21cm2) is predicted., application/pdf}, pages = {1745--1747}, title = {Excess carrier lifetime of 3C-SiC measured by the microwave photoconductivity decay method}, volume = {70}, year = {1997} }
