The electronic driving force for growth of stacking faults (SF) in n-type 4H SiC under annealing and in operating devices is discussed. This involves two separate aspects: an overall thermodynamic driving force due to the capture of electrons in interface states and the barriers that need to be overcome to create dislocation kinks which advance the motion of partial dislocations and hence expansion of SF. The second problem studied in this paper is whether 3C SiC quantum wells in 4H SiC can have band gaps lower than 3C SiC. First-principles band structure calculations show that this is not the case due to the intrinsic screening of the spontaneous polarization fields.

A general expression is written down for the density of states of non-interacting electrons in a disordered system. The expression is obtained on the basis of two simplifying assumptions; the geometric approximation, which is connected with the disorder, and an approximation concerning the potential which is commonly used in band structure calculations. In the case of a perfect lattice the result of Kohn & Rostoker (1954) for the band structure of the lattice is derived, and details of the density of states are available from the formula thus obtained. It is shown how the change in the energy of the electrons due to the presence of a phonon can be obtained.
