Embodiment 1

[0033] A method for rapidly growing large-size silicon carbide single crystals. The source materials are directly silicon powder and carbon powder. The surface of the silicon powder and carbon powder mixture is covered with a porous graphite sheet. After the powder is synthesized in situ, it is grown by PVT method. Large size SiC single crystal. Specific steps are as follows:

[0034] (1) The silicon powder particle size is 10 μm, and the carbon powder particle size is 10 μm. After the silicon powder and carbon powder are mixed evenly at a molar ratio of 1:1, they are evenly spread on the bottom of the graphite crucible. The holes on the porous graphite sheet placed on the surface of the mixture in the crucible are circular holes and arranged periodically. The thickness of the graphite sheet is 1 mm, the diameter of the circular holes distributed periodically on it is 5 μm, and the space distance is 2 mm, such as Figure 4 shown.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for quickly growing a large-size SiC (Silicon Carbide) single crystal. The method comprises the following steps: putting a mixture of silicon powder and carbon powder at the bottom of a graphite crucible, and placing a porous graphite flake on the surface; fixing a seed crystal to the top of the graphite crucible, vacuumizing a growth chamber, charging Ar gas or mixed gas of Ar and H2 into the growth chamber, heating the seed crystal until the temperature reaches 1,600-2,000 DEG C, and reacting for 2-5 hours under the pressure of 800-900mbar to obtain a SiC source material; raising the temperature to 2,200-2,500 DEG C, continuously charging the Ar gas, reducing the pressure, sublimating powder at the bottom to the surface of the seed crystal, and growing the seed crystal for 30-50 hours to obtain the large-size SiC single crystal. According to the method, SiC powder can be synthesized at one time, the SiC single crystal can be grown in situ, the cost is low, and the process is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for rapidly growing a large-size silicon carbide single crystal, belonging to the field of inorganic non-metallic materials. Background technique [0002] With the maturity of the development of the first-generation silicon semiconductor and the second-generation gallium arsenide semiconductor materials, their device applications are also reaching their limits. Compared with the previous two generations, SiC has obvious advantages. Silicon carbide single crystal has unique characteristics such as large band gap, high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity, high electron saturation drift velocity, small dielectric constant, strong radiation resistance, and good chemical stability.
