We have developed and investigated the quasi-bulk crystal growth of 3C-SiC on transferred, high quality, CVD-grown templates using a sublimation sandwich related technique. The seeding layers were removed from the silicon carrier using a solution of hydrogen fluoride, nitric acid and water and glued to a substrate using carbon glue. The transferred layers were used as seeding material to grow high quality, single crystalline, DPBs free 3C-SiC crystals with thicknesses of up to 860 μm and a size of 18 x 20 mm. Analysis of the 3C-SiC layers was carried out using Laue measurement in back-reflecting geometry, Raman spectroscopy and optical microscopy.

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.

We present experimental results with regard to the evaluation of growth-induced polytype domains in 6H-SiC crystals grown by sublimation method and these domains are characterized by using the polarized optical microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The polytype domains of reverse triangular are generated by local variation of temperature along cdirection and spread-wing shapes normally occurred forming micropipes in many cases. These polytype domains may be generated due to the local variation of supersaturation and/or temperature at central position during crystal growth. In this work, we try to elucidate the origin and mechanism responsible for growth-induced polytype domains.

We have developed RAF (Repeated a-face) growth method which is high quality bulk crystal growth technology [1, 2]. A block crystal more than 150 mm square size was produced by the RAF growth method. Since c-face growth crystal was produced on the seed obtained from the block crystal, high quality 150mm 4H-SiC wafer was achieved. This paper reports the results of the quality evaluation.

Interest in II-VI semiconductors centres around optoelectronic device applications. The wide band gap II-VI semiconductors such as ZnS, ZnSe and ZnTe have been used in lasers and electroluminescent displays yielding room temperature blue luminescence. The narrow gap II-VI semiconductors such as CdTe and HgxCd1-x Te are currently used for infrared detectors, where the band gap can be varied continuously by changing the alloy composition x.Two major sources of precipitation can be identified in II-VI materials; (i) dopant introduction leading to local variations in concentration and subsequent precipitation and (ii) Te precipitation in ZnTe, CdTe and HgCdTe due to native point defects which arise from problems associated with stoichiometry control during crystal growth. Precipitation is observed in both bulk crystal growth and epitaxial growth and is frequently associated with segregation and precipitation at dislocations and grain boundaries. Precipitation has been observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which is sensitive to local strain fields around inclusions.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials driven by their unique electronic and optoelectronic properties have opened up possibilities for their various applications. The large and high-quality single crystals are essential to fabricate high-performance 2D devices for practical applications. Herein, IV-V 2D GeP single crystals with high-quality and large size of 20 × 15 × 5 mm3 were successfully grown by the Bi flux growth method. The crystalline quality of GeP was confirmed by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD), Laue diffraction, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, intrinsic anisotropic optical properties were investigated by angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy (ARPRS) and transmission spectra in detail. Furthermore, we fabricated high-performance photodetectors based on GeP, presenting a relatively large photocurrent over 3 mA. More generally, our results will significantly contribute the GeP crystal to the wide optoelectronic applications.
