Uniformity Improvement in Carrier Concentration on 150 mm Diameter C-Face Epitaxial Growth of 4H-SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

The guidelines necessary to improve the n-type doping uniformity on C-face epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC have been examined as far as the practical throughput is maintained, e.g. 3×150 mm wafers with the growth rate higher than 20 μm/h. The flow-channel enlargement was carried out and the effect was estimated by temperature distribution estimation performed by hydrogen etching. Also, effective C/Si was simulated with the temperature distribution obtained from the hydrogen etching experiments. As a result, positional agreement was found between the region where carrier concentration begins to increase and the drastic drop in temperature and the effective C/Si ratio.
