SiC Single Crystal Growth on Dual Seed with Different Surface Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiC crystal ingots were grown on 6H-SiC dual-seed crystal with different surface properties by a PVT (Physical Vapor Transport) technique. And then SiC crystal wafers sliced from the SiC ingots were systematically investigated in order to find out the dependence of surface properties for seed on the polytype formation. While n-type SiC crystals exhibiting the 4H polytype were grown on seed crystal having high root-mean-square (rms) value, 6H-SiC crystals were grown on seed having lower rms value. However, 6H polytype was maintained on on-axis and off-axis seeds during the entire growth period. The crystal quality of 6H-SiC single crystals grown on on-axis seed were revealed to be slightly better than that of 6H-SiC crystal grown on off-axis seed.
