摘要
The paper reviews research on advanced crystal growth of SiC. A brief review highlights the benefits of the so called Modified Physical Vapor Transport Technique which uses an additional gas pipe for fine tuning of the growth cell of a conventional Physical Vapor Transport setup with additional gases. Main emphasis, however, will be laid on a systematic dislocation evolution study for various growth parameter sets. Besides doping, growth temperature was considered. Two main results were found: (i) In p-type SiC, irrespective of the incorporation of aluminum or boron acceptors, basal plane dislocations that are harmful for bipolar power devices appear less pronounced or are even absent compared to n-type SiC. (ii) Growth at elevated seed temperature (i.e. 2300 degrees C and higher) is beneficial for low dislocation densities. (C) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
