Formation and Reduction of Large Growth Pits on 100 mm 4° 4H-SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

The large growth pits (LGPs) dependence of substrate quality, growth rate, and C/Si ratio have been discussed in the 4H-SiC epitaxial growth on 100 mm N-type 4H-SiC Si-face substrates misoriented by 4° toward [11-20] with a warm-wall planetary reactor. The formation and reduction of LGPs have been investigated by adjusting the growth process parameters. With the optimized process, the perfect surface morphology with lower LGPs density has been obtained on the high quality substrate.
