Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of crystal growing, and specifically relates to a growing method inhibiting carbon inclusion defects in silicon carbide monocrystals. The method described in the present invention divides growth into two phases, inhibiting volatilization and escape of a silicon component by means of controlling different pressures, decreasing, or even eliminating, formation of inclusions; the growing method described in the present invention does not require addition of an external substance to growing raw materials, as inhibition of carbon inclusion formation may be realized by means of only simple adjustments of growing techniques, the method being easily implemented and relatively low-cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crystal growth, in particular to a growth method for suppressing carbon inclusion defects in silicon carbide single crystals. Background technique [0002] Silicon carbide single crystal is one of the most important third-generation semiconductor materials. It is widely used in power electronics, RF devices, optoelectronic devices and other fields. The current mainstream silicon carbide single crystal growth technology is the physical vapor transport (PVT) method, that is, the gas phase source generated by the sublimation of silicon carbide raw materials is transported to the seed crystal at high temperature for recrystallization. [0003] The growth process of silicon carbide single crystal grown by PVT method is carried out in a closed graphite crucible, so the growth environment at high temperature is in a carbon-rich atmosphere. In the early stage of crystal growth, because the vapor partial pressur...
