Abstract Radiation-induced defect annealing in He$^{+}$ ion-implanted 4H-SiC via H$^{+}$ ion irradiation is investigated by Raman spectroscopy. There are 4H-SiC wafers irradiated with 230 keV He$^{+}$ ions with fluences ranging from $5.0\times10^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$ to $2.0\times10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ at room temperature. The post-implantation samples are irradiated by 260 keV H$^{+}$ ions at a fluence of $5.0\times10^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$ at room temperature. The intensities of Raman lines decrease after He implantation, while they increase after H irradiation. The experimental results present that the magnitude of Raman line increment is related to the concentration of pre-existing defects formed by He implantation. A strong new peak located near 966 cm$^{-1}$, which is assigned to 3C-SiC LO (${\it \Gamma}$) phonon, is found in the He-implanted sample with a fluence of $5.0\times10^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$ followed by H irradiation. However, for the He-implanted sample with a fluence of $2.0\times10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ followed by H irradiation, no 3C-SiC phonon vibrations are found. The detailed reason for H irradiation-induced phase transformation in the He-implanted 4H-SiC is discussed.
