Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate electron transport in the inversion layer of a 4H silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The electronic subband structure is solved self-consistently along with the perpendicular field at the semiconductor-oxide interface. Inversion channel scattering rates due to acoustic and polar optical phonons, ionized dopants, trapped charge, and interface roughness are considered. Transport within (0001) and (112¯0) oriented inversion layers are compared. Simulations of the MOSFET low-field mobility, incorporating previously published experimental results for threshold voltages and charge densities, are found to agree well with experimental results. The mobility of the (112¯0) channel is much larger (90 cm2/V s) than that of the (0001) channel (<40 cm2/V s) due to a reduction in interface states. Furthermore, the mobility has a temperature coefficient of approximately −3/2 for (112¯0) layers due to dominant phonon scattering and +1...
