20 Partial conclusions In SiC samples, in any exposure temperature, O from water is incorporated in all depths of the oxide films, mainly by isotopic exchange, reaching the SiO 2 /SiC interface, in contrast to SiO 2 /Si. In SiO 2 /SiC, D is transported and incorporated in the surface, bulk, and interface regions, whereas in SiO 2 /Si, it is observed only in near-surface regions of the oxide. In SiO 2 /SiC, the amount of incorporated D increases continuously with temperature and with initial oxide thickness, whileinsio 2 /Si there is no such dependence.

36 Partial Conclusions D incorporation in dep.sio 2 /SiC and dep.sio 2 /Si structures occurs mainly in the SiO 2 /semiconductor interface region Water vapor exposure at 800 C led to total isotopic exchange between O from water and 16 O present in the dep. SiO 2 film The thermal growth of SiO 2 prior to its deposition on SiC reduced the incorporation of D D incorporation increases with the oxidation time and exposure temperature for SiO 2 /SiC The incorporation of D depends on the route employed to obtain SiO 2 films on SiC
37 General Conclusions The route employed to obtain SiO 2 films on SiC has a great influence in the incorporation of O and of D from water vapor exposures Larger incorporation of D electrical defects larger amounts of Water vapor exposures led to the removal of the interfacial layer between the SiO 2 film and SiC reduced the effective negative charge in all tested structures High-Resolution Depth Profiling techniques were crucial to unravel these facts
