Silicon carbide (SiC) as an interesting material for new electronic applications was studied with respect to the binding states of doping elements (B, Al). Amorphization due to sputtering and the effect of surface states influence the core-level energies measured by XPS. For the comparison of a series of measurements after doping element implantation and annealing, the use of the SiC bulk-state energies determined at a fractured SiC sample as a binding energy reference is proposed. From the measured binding energy shifts and estimations with the simple model of electronegativity differences, it is found that B and Al after implantation already prefer bondings to carbon and not to Si.
