Growth of Large Diameter Semi-Insulating 6H-SiC Crystals by Physical Vapor Transport
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Abstract
Semi-insulating (SI) 6H-SiC boules up to 110mm in diameter have been grown by Physical Vapor Transport (PVT). SI properties have been achieved by vanadiumc compensation, which resulted in the room temperature electrical resistivity exceeding 2×1011ωcm. Low temperature photoluminescence (LTPL) data shows the presence of the deep intrinsic defect level UD-1 in addition to V4+. The nitrogen-bound exciton (NBE) luminescence is weak in heavily vanadium compensated 6H-SiC.
