    摘要: A method is disclosed for producing semi-insulating silicon carbide crystal with a controlled nitrogen content. The method includes the steps of introducing an ambient gas containing hydrogen into a sublimation growth chamber, heating a silicon carbide source powder to sublimation in the hydrogen ambient growth chamber while, heating and then maintaining a silicon carbide seed crystal in the hydrogen ambient growth chamber to a second temperature below the temperature of the source powder, at which second temperature sublimed species from the source powder will condense upon the seed crystal, continuing to heat the silicon carbide source powder until a desired amount of silicon carbide crystal growth has occurred upon the seed crystal, while maintaining an ambient concentration of hydrogen in the growth chamber sufficient to minimize the amount of nitrogen incorporated into the growing silicon carbide crystal, and while maintaining the source powder and the seed crystal during sublimation growth at respective temperatures high enough to increase the number of point defects in the growing crystal to an amount that renders the resulting silicon carbide crystal semi-insulating.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for producing high quality semi-insulating silicon carbide crystals in the absence of relevant amounts of deep level trapping elements. The invention includes the steps of heating a silicon carbide crystal having a first concentration of point defect related deep level states to a temperature above the temperatures required for CVD growth of silicon carbide from source gases, but less than the sublimation temperature of silicon carbide under the ambient conditions to thereby thermodynamically increase the number of point defects and resulting states in the crystal, and then cooling the heated crystal to approach room temperature at a sufficiently rapid rate to maintain a concentration of point defects in the cooled crystal that remains greater than the first concentration.
