Abstract

Improvements in the quality and consistency of 4H-SiC epitaxy wafers are now starting to enable growth of commercial SiC power device applications in areas such as inverters for photo-voltaic systems and power supplies. Recent work has achieved very low epitaxy surface roughness and very low BPD (Basal plane dislocation) in the on 4 degree off-axis substrates. In this paper, we report characterization of the very low BPD epitaxy wafers and a newly observed triangular defect.
