technical field [0001] The application relates to a high-quality silicon carbide single crystal, a substrate and a high-efficiency preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of semiconductor materials. 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. [0003] At present, the main preparation method of silicon carbide single crystal is physical vapor transport (PVT) method. In the process of preparing crystals by PVT method, there are radial temperature gradients and axial temperature gradients in the growth chamber where the crystals are grown. In the stable crystal growth stage, a larger axial temperature gradient has a faster crystal growth rate, and a smaller radial temperature gradient can reduce the introduction of stress and dislocation. However, it is difficult to simultaneously achie...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing induction coil heating method, on the one hand, is difficult to increase the axial temperature gradient of the growth chamber without affecting the radial temperature gradient and ensure a small radial temperature gradient; on the other hand, when reducing the radial temperature gradient , the axial temperature gradient also has a large drop, and the growth rate cannot be guaranteed

In addition, it is also difficult to control the radial temperature gradient in a large range during the growth of silicon carbide crystals in the current equipment, and it is difficult to realize the change of the radial temperature gradient required in the growth of silicon carbide crystals.
