To reduce the resistivity of heavily Al-doped 4H-SiC epilayers, the conduction mechanisms were investigated for Al concentrations (C-Al) between 2.4 x 10(19) and 4.7 x 10(29) cm(-3) and measurement temperatures (T) between 20 and 600K. The results elucidated the relationship between the conduction mechanisms and the values of Tand C. For the epilayers with C-Al similar to 3 x 10(19) cm(-3), an unexpected additional conduction mechanism was observed between the band and nearest-neighbor-hopping conduction regions, for which two plausible conduction models are proposed. To reduce the resistivity of epilayers with C-Al > 2 x 10(20) cm(-3), it is essential to fabricate samples with low lattice distortion. (C) 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
