| Abstract | Recent reports on the impact of elementary dislocations on device performance and reliability suggest not only micropipe defects but also dislocations should be reduced or eliminated perfectly. This paper presents bulk growth process for reduction of the dislocations, and quality of the crystals grown by the process. Etch pit density of the best crystals grown by the process was lower by three orders of magnitude than that of conventional crystals. Moreover, large diameter crystals (>2”) with low dislocation density were successfully grown by the process. |
