Improvements of the Continuous Feed-Physical Vapor Transport Technique (CF-PVT) for the Seeded Growth of 3C-SiC Crystals

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Continuous Feed-Physical Vapor Transport Technique (CF-PVT) was optimized by considering the heating, thermal insulation and the geometry of growth cavity. The effects of seeds on the surface morphology of the grown layer have been discussed. We successfully grew 3C-SiC bulk with a diameter of 7.0 mm and 3.3 mm in height with a high growth rate of 0.8 mm/h by the CF-PVT technique.
