摘要: The present invention relates to a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate with improved mechanical and electrical characteristics. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a bulk SiC crystal in a physical vapor transport growth system. The silicon carbide substrate comprises an inner region (102) which constitutes at least 30% of a total surface area of said substrate (100), a ring shaped peripheral region (104) radially surrounding the inner region (102), wherein a mean concentration of a dopant in the inner region (102) differs by at least 1-1018 cm-3 from the mean concentration of this dopant in the peripheral region (104).

摘要: The present invention relates to systems and methods for growing bulk semiconductor single crystals, and more specifically, for growing bulk semiconductor single crystals, such as silicon carbide, based on physical vapor transport. The sublimation system comprises a crucible (202) having a longitudinal axis (212) and a sidewall (218) extending along the longitudinal axis (212), wherein the crucible (202) comprises a fixing means for at least one seed crystal (210) and at least one source material compartment (204) for containing a source material (208); and a heating system for generating a temperature field around a circumference of the crucible (202) along the longitudinal axis (212) of the crucible (202); a thermally insulating unit (214) arranged within the source material compartment (204) at the sidewall (218) of the crucible (202).

摘要: The present invention relates to systems and methods for growing bulk semiconductor single crystals, and more specifically, for growing a bulk semiconductor single crystals, such as silicon carbide, based on physical vapor transport. A sublimation system for growing at least one single crystal of a semiconductor material by means of a sublimation growing process comprises a crucible (102) having a longitudinal axis (120) and comprising a fixing means for at least one seed crystal (110) and at least one source material compartment (104) for containing a source material (108); a heating system being formed to generate an irregular temperature field around a circumference of the crucible at one or more defined heights along the longitudinal axis of the crucible; a rotary drive that is operable to cause a rotational movement of the fixing means around the longitudinal axis relative to the heating system.
