Three-Dimensional Imaging of Extended Defects in 4H-SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes 3D imaging of extended defects in 4H-SiC using optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon-exited photoluminescence (2PPL). SHG selectively yields the 3D images of 3C-inclusions in a 4H-SiC epilayer, while 2PPL provides 3D images of 3C-inclusions, 8H stacking faults and single Shockley stacking faults. 2PPL band-edge emission visualizes dislocation lines of threading screw dislocations and threading edge dislocations, the tilt angles of which are evaluated.
