N2 - SrTi1-xMgxO3-δ, an oxidation catalyst, is employed to produce active oxygen species in an oxidation furnace and to enhance oxidation of 4H-SiC at low temperatures. The linear rate constant of the oxidation model at the 4H-SiC (0001)-Si surface at 800~900 °C is enhanced by two orders of magnitude in comparison to the conventional dry oxidation. The catalytic oxidation is, therefore, able to form a gate oxide at temperatures as low as 800°C. Interface state density in the energy range of 0.2~0.5 eV from the conduction band edge of the 4H-SiC oxidized with catalyst at 800°C is almost same as the one oxidized using the conventional dry oxidation at 1100 °C.
