The kinetics of lattice distortion introduction and lattice relaxation at the surface of thermally-oxidized 4H-SiC (0001) were investigated. Our results suggested that lattice distortion introduction and lattice relaxation seem to follow zeroth and second order rate laws, respectively. The obtained activation energy of ∼3.9 eV for lattice distortion introduction and ∼1 eV for its relaxation indicate that the lattice distortion is determined by a bond rearrangement or movement process with a relatively low activation energy. Furthermore, the formation of byproducts which remain at the surface region of 4H-SiC was predicted to be a possible origin of the significant lattice distortion.
