SiC Sublimation Growth at Small Spacing between Source and Seed

Article Preview

Abstract:

The growth kinetics of SiC crystals doped with Al and Ga impurities and grown by the sublimation sandwich method at a small spacing between the source and the seed (<1 mm) has been studied. Dependence of an Al-doped SiC crystals growth rate on the clearance is shown to be non-monotonic and exhibits maximum at the clearance about of 100-300 μm. Such dependence is also observed for growth of pure and Ga-doped SiC crystals but only on (0001)Si face. The derived dependencies suggest that there are some considerable kinetic limitations of the SiC growth rate. High quality SiC crystals with such high concentration of the Al impurity as 2x1021 cm-3 were grown.
