摘要
The off-axis approach to SiC epitaxial growth has not prevented many substrate crystal defects from propagating into SiC epilayers, and does not permit the realization of SiC heteropolytype devices. This paper reviews recent advancements in SiC epitaxial growth that begin to overcome the above shortcomings for arrays of device-sized mesas patterned into on-axis 4H/6H-SiC wafers. These on-axis mesa growth techniques have produced 4H/6H-SiC homoepilayers and 3C-SiC heteroepilayers with substantially lower dislocation densities. The results should enable improved homojunction and heterojunction silicon carbide prototype devices.
