Abstract
The formation energy, electronic structure and complex permittivities of 3C-SiC with different Al and N codoping levels
were studied by the first principles plane wave pseudo-potential method based on the density functional theory. Results
showed that the incorporation of N into SiC lowered the formation energy of Al-doped SiC, and that the band gap of
co-doped SiC increased with increasing Al level. Both real part ε′ and imaginary part ε″ of complex permittivities for
co-doped SiC in the frequency range of 8.2-18GHz increased firstly, and then decreased as the level of Al increased, with
the maximum values in ε′ and ε″ for Al3-N complex..
