摘要：

To outline the hopping conduction range, the electrical characteristics of CVD-grown heavily Al-doped 4H-SiC thick epilayers (2.0 x 10(19)-4.0 x 10(20) cm(-3)) were investigated in a wide temperature regime (20-900 K). It is found that, below 100 K, hopping conduction dominates the carrier transport for all epilayers, and the corresponding hopping conduction activation energy shows a maximum of similar to 30 meV at around 1.1 x 10(20) cm(-3). With increasing doping level, the temperature dependence of resistivity evolves and finally obeys the similar to 1/T-1/4 law in the entire temperature regime, which gives direct evidence of variable-range hopping conduction.
