Embodiment 1

[0053] A method for growing a low-stress high-purity semi-insulating SiC single crystal, the steps are as follows:

[0054] Step 1: Synthesis of high-purity SiC powder

[0055] (1) Put the thermal insulation material of the synthetic material into the growth furnace for pretreatment, heat it to 1800°C, keep it warm for 5 hours, and then slowly lower it to room temperature. Repeat 2 times in a row to ensure that the boron in the heat preservation is no longer released in subsequent synthetic material furnaces, so as to prevent boron impurities from melting into the SiC powder.

[0056] (2) Mix high-purity silicon powder and carbon powder evenly in a molar ratio of 1:1, put them in a graphite crucible with a coating on the surface, and seal the crucible. Put the crucible, insulation material, etc. into the growth chamber, and seal the furnace mouth.

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a low-stress and high-purity semi-insulating SiC single crystal. The method includes the steps that synthesis of high-purity SiC powder is carried out, crystal growth is carried out with a physical vapor transport method, the concentration of shallow energy level impurities is reduced in the synthesis and crystal growth processes, a heat insulation material is subjected to high-temperature pretreatment, and boron impurities are prevented from being blended in; a silicon powder raw material and a carbon powder raw material are put into a graphite crucible with a coating for SiC synthesis; the obtained high-purity SiC powder is pretreated, seed crystals are fed, vacuumizing is carried out, high-purity argon or mixed gas of argon and hydrogen is introduced in to carry out crystal growth, then the temperature is rapidly lowered to enlarge point defects, and then the temperature is slowly lowered to the room temperature to eliminate stress. SiC crystal growth is carried out in an equilibrium state, so that the obtained crystal is small in stress, low in microtubule density and good in quality, and the resistivity on the area of the whole crystal is 108 ohm.cm or above. The method is small in preparation investment, high in safety and free of pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a low-stress high-purity semi-insulating SiC single crystal, belonging to the technical field of single crystal growth. Background technique [0002] As a member of the third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials, SiC single crystal has many excellent properties such as large band gap, high thermal conductivity, and critical breakdown field strength. Based on these excellent properties, SiC is an ideal semiconductor material for high-power devices. Among them, semi-insulating SiC single crystal can be used to prepare high-power microwave devices, which can be widely used in microwave communication, airborne radar, shipborne radar and other fields. [0003] Generally, there are two ways to obtain semi-insulating SiC single crystals. One is to form deep energy levels by doping vanadium elements, so that shallow energy level impurities can be compensated to obtain semi-insulating properties. Howe...
