The Influence of the Temperature Gradient on the Defect Structure of 3C-SiC Grown Heteroepitaxially on 6H-SiC by Sublimation Epitaxy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work the structural quality of 3C-SiC layers grown by sublimation epitaxy is studied by means of conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The layers were grown on Si-face 6H-SiC nominally on-axis substrates at a temperature of 2000°C and different temperature gradients, ranging from 5 to 8 °C /mm. The influence of the temperature gradient on the structural quality of the layers is discussed. The formation of specific twin complexes and conditions for lower stacking fault density are investigated.
