摘要
Recent advances in PVT c-axis growth process have shown a path for eliminating micropipes in 4HN-SiC, leading to the demonstration of zero micropipe density 100 mm 4HN-SiC wafers. Combined techniques of KOH etching and cross-polarizer inspections were used to confirm the absence of micropipes. Crystal growth studies for 3-inch material with similar processes have 2 demonstrated a 1c screw dislocation median density of 175 cm(-2), compared to typical densities of 2x10(3) to 4x10(3) cm(-2) in current production wafers. These values were obtained through optical scanning analyzer methods and verified by x-ray topography.
