We report that annealing in low-oxygen-partial-pressure (low-p$_{\rm O2}$) ambient is effective in reducing the interface state density (D$_{\rm IT}$) at a SiC (0001)/SiO$_{\rm 2}$ interface near the conduction band edge (E$_{\rm C}$) of…

To improve mobility of fabricated silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) quantum devices, forming gas annealing is a common method used to mitigate the effects of disorder at the Si/SiO2 interface. However, the importance of activation…

We propose the atomic structures of the 4H-SiC/SiO$_2$ interface for the $a$, $m$, C, and Si faces after NO annealing. Our proposed structures preferentially form at the topmost layers of the SiC side of the interface, which agrees with the…
