Modeling and Experimental Verification of SiC M-PVT Bulk Crystal Growth

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have studied the impact of the chemical nature of additional gases fed into the modified physical vapor transport (M-PVT) growth cell. In particular experiments were carried out using helium, argon, nitrogen and propane in the growth setup. Numerical modeling was used to address the underlying physical and chemical effects that impact the global temperature field. It is found that chemical decomposition of complex gases plays a secondary role as heat source or sink. However, temperature variations related to varying gas compositions fed to the systems are primarily induced by changes of the graphite foam isolation properties.
