Stress and misoriented area formation under large silicon carbide boule growth

The presence of slightly misoriented (less than 1°) comparatively large areas in silicon carbide boules grown by the sublimation method is one of the types of defects which can limit the operation of devices based upon such material. 6H- and 4H-SiC boules were grown by the modified Lely method elabo...

Summary:The presence of slightly misoriented (less than 1°) comparatively large areas in silicon carbide boules grown by the sublimation method is one of the types of defects which can limit the operation of devices based upon such material. 6H- and 4H-SiC boules were grown by the modified Lely method elaborated at the St.-Petersburg Electrotechnical University. Formation of stress and misoriented areas in SiC crystals has been investigated. Nondestructive techniques for such material characterization have been developed.
