Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy showed high diffusion of gold impurities to the introduced gettering sites which implied a success in introducing gettering sites. Data obtained from the measurements of the specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and room temperature density were used to deduce the thermal conductivity of the samples investigated. The thermal conductivity modeling showed that introducing gettering sites can increase the thermal conductivity in n-type 4H-SiC due to the reduction of phonon-impurity scattering. Raman measurements showed the presence of the desired defects introduted by ion implantation at 20\u00b0C. The analysis of the Fourier transform infrared reflectivity showed that the gettering sites can act as majority carrier traps and reduce the recombination process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.2841771","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,11]],"date-time":"2008-03-11T22:48:26Z","timestamp":1205275706000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effect of introducing gettering sites and subsequent Au diffusion on the thermal conductivity and the free carrier concentration in n-type 4H-SiC"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Kazan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Aveiro 1 CICECO, Departamento de Fisica, , 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Ottaviani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9 2 , IM2NP, CNRS-UMR 6242, Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, Campus de Saint-J\u00e9r\u00f4me, Avenue Escadrille Normandie Niemen-Service 231, F-13397 Marseille Cedex 20, France"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Moussaed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Montpellier II 3 Groupe d\u2019Etude des Semiconducteurs, CNRS-UMR 5650, CC 074, , 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Nader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Montpellier II 3 Groupe d\u2019Etude des Semiconducteurs, CNRS-UMR 5650, CC 074, , 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Masri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Montpellier II 3 Groupe d\u2019Etude des Semiconducteurs, CNRS-UMR 5650, CC 074, , 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023070416404532000_c1","first-page":"737","volume-title":"Silicon Carbide: Recent Major Advances","author":"Choyke","year":"2003"},{"volume-title":"Polymorphism and Polytypism in Crystals","year":"1966","key":"2023070416404532000_c2"},{"key":"2023070416404532000_c3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1016\/S0040-6090(98)01004-9","volume":"338","year":"1999","journal-title":"Thin Solid Films"},{"key":"2023070416404532000_c4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1016\/0025-5408(87)90145-0","volume":"22","year":"1997","journal-title":"MRS Bull."},{"key":"2023070416404532000_c5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1016\/S0038-1101(02)00199-5","volume":"47","year":"2003","journal-title":"Solid-State Electron."},{"key":"2023070416404532000_c6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"092123","DOI":"10.1063\/1.2335972","volume":"89","year":"2006","journal-title":"Appl.
