The band-to-band Auger recombination in 4H-SiC material Is studied using a time-resolved photoinduced absorption technique. The Auger recombination coefficient is derived from the kinetics of electron-hole plasma in heavily doped n-type 4H-SiC and in low-doped 4H-SiC epitaxial layers in the temperature interval 300-565 K. Within this range, its value decreases from gamma(3) = (7 +/- 1) x 10(-31) cm(6) s(-1) to gamma(3) = (3 +/- I) x 10(-32) cm(6) s(-1). The observed pronounced reduction of Auger recombination rate with temperature is correlated to temperature dependent threshold energy of Auger process. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
