Embodiments of the invention relate generally to semiconductors and semiconductor fabrication techniques, and more particularly, to devices, integrated circuits, substrates, and methods to form silicon carbide structures, including epitaxial layers, by supplying sources of silicon and carbon with sequential emphasis. In at least some embodiments, a method of forming an epitaxial layer of silicon carbide can include depositing a layer on a substrate in the presence of a silicon source, and purging gaseous materials subsequent to depositing the layer. Further, the method can include converting the layer into a sub-layer of silicon carbide in the presence of a carbon source, and purging other gaseous materials subsequent to converting the layer. The presence of the silicon source can be independent of the presence of the carbon source. In some embodiments, dopants, such as n-type dopants, can be introduced during the formation of the epitaxial layer of silicon carbide.
