Top Seeded Solution Growth

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an ideal material for high-power and high-performance electronic applications. Top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) is considered as a potential method for bulk growth of high-quality SiC single crystals from the liquid phase source material. The crystal growth performance, such as growth rate and uniformity, is driven by the fluid flow and constitutional flux in the solution. In this study, we numerically investigate the contribution of the external static magnetic field generated by Helmholtz coils to the fluid flow in the silicon melt. Depending on the setup of the Helmholtz coils, four static magnetic field distributions are available, namely, uniform vertical upward/downward and vertical/horizontal cusp. Based on the calculated carbon flux coming to the crystal surface, the vertical downward magnetic field proved its ability to enhance the growth rate as well as the uniformity of the grown crystal.

Top Seeded Solution Growth

We performed top-seeded solution growth of 4H-SiC for obtaining longer length crystal. Si-Cr and Si-Ti melts were used as solvents. Meniscus formation technique was applied to the present study. Special attention was paid to improve the process stability during long-term growth. One of major technological problems in the solution growth is that the precipitation of polycrystalline SiC which hiders the stable single crystal growth. Another problem is the fluctuation of supersaturation at the growth interface during the growth. Through the optimization of growth process conditions, we have successfully grown 4H-SiC single crystals up to 14 mm long with three-inch-diameter, and evaluated their crystalline quality.

Top Seeded Solution Growth

In this paper, we review our researches on the high-quality 3C-SiC bulk crystal growth. The polytype control and the suppression of defects are essential in the growth 3C-SiC on hexagonal SiC seed crystals. The growth polytype of SiC is usually controlled by the inheritance of the seed crystal. In contrast, we established kinetic polytype control in which the preferential growth of 3C-SiC can be achieved by the difference in the growth rates depending on supersaturation for the polytypes. In the growth of 3C-SiC, double positioning boundaries (DPBs) are often formed by the existence of twinned domain. The elimination of DPBs can be achieved utilizing the anisotropy of the step advance velocity.

The modified crucible in the top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method was proposed to get the stable growth condition and the enhanced growth rate. The temperature gradient and the distribution of dissolved carbon in the solvent were obtained by numerical approaches. Compared simulation results and experiment, we investigated the region where is the most of dissolved carbon and it is supplied to the seed through what path. The cross-sectional samples of crucibles and grown SiC crystals were systematically analyzed to investigate the effect of the crucible modification on SiC crystal growth.
