Embodiment 1

[0056] As mentioned in the background technology, in the initial stage of silicon carbide crystal growth, the growth atmosphere is rich in gaseous silicon, and under the action of axial temperature gradient, the steam is transported to the low-temperature silicon carbide seed crystal region, and the saturated vapor pressure of the silicon-rich gas phase decreases, condensing into Liquid-phase silicon causes crystallization defects. In order to overcome this defect, gas that can react with silicon vapor at high temperature is usually introduced into the silicon carbide raw material to form silicide, thereby removing gas-phase silicon in the growth atmosphere. However, silicon carbide crystals produced by this method still have crystal defects.

[0057] Based on the above-mentioned problems and detailed analysis of various factors, the inventor determined that the main reason for the crystallization defects in silicon carbide crystals is that the uniformity of chlorine-containing...

Abstract

The invention provides a growth method for growing silicon carbide crystals by a PVT method. The method comprises the following steps: providing a crucible; placing a silicon carbide raw material anda seed crystal in the crucible; putting the crucible into a growth chamber, vacuumizing, introducing protective gas, and setting the temperature of the chamber; raising the temperature to a first preset temperature, introducing chlorine-containing gas through a gas dispersing device in the crucible, raising the temperature to a second preset temperature, and stopping introducing the chlorine-containing gas or continuously introducing the chlorine-containing gas for a first preset time; raising the temperature to a third preset temperature, and annealing to obtain the silicon carbide crystal after the silicon carbide crystal starts to grow for a second preset time. According to the growth method, the release rate and uniformity of the chlorine-containing gas can be effectively controlled, and the crystallization defect caused by condensation of gas-phase silicon on the surface of the crystal is avoided; by controlling the introduction time and flow of the chlorine-containing gas, the crystallization defect can be further avoided; due to the arrangement of the porous graphite block, introduced excessive chlorine-containing gas and carbon particles suspended in a growth atmosphere canbe dissipated, and the defects of carbon inclusions in crystals are reduced.
