The etch pits on the C-face 4H-SiC substrate was produced by chlorine trifluoride gas at various temperatures. The etch pit density showed the comparable value to the current dislocation density level of the Si-face 4H-SiC, when the etching was performed around 713 K. Thus, the etch pit density obtained by this technique is expected to reveal the crystal quality.
