Polarity Inversion of SiC(0001) during the Al Doped PVT Growth

Article Preview

Abstract:

We found that the polarity of the 4H-SiC is reversed from Si-face to C-face by high Al doping during the physical vapor transport (PVT) growth. KOH etching and deep ultraviolet (DUV) Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm the polarity of the grown crystals. The results show the polarity inversion is occurred in the samples grown on Si-face SiC with using Al doped SiC source material.
