Abstract

The invention provides a growth control method and system for growing silicon carbide crystals based on liquid phase epitaxy. The method mainly includes: setting at least one group of probe groups above and below the oriented seed crystal, and applying a direct current; measuring the probes The voltage or current between the groups can be used to determine the morphology of the crystal interface; the magnitude and / or direction of the direct current applied to the probe group can be changed to achieve the purpose of precisely controlling the morphology of the crystal interface, wherein: the direction of the current flows from the melt to the carbonization Silicon crystals slow down the crystallization speed of silicon carbide crystals; the direction of current flows from silicon carbide crystals to the melt to speed up the crystallization speed of silicon carbide crystals. Through the growth control method and system, the purpose of real-time control of the crystallization interface can be realized to precisely control the crystal size; in addition, the control of the crystal size is more precise, and the process procedure is more convenient; finally, in the entire crystal growth process, the introduction of the magnetic field Further improve the overall quality of the crystal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crystal growth, in particular to a growth control method and system for growing silicon carbide crystals based on a liquid phase epitaxy method. Background technique [0002] As a third-generation semiconductor material, silicon carbide has the advantages of large band gap, high electron mobility, high breakdown voltage and high thermal conductivity compared with traditional semiconductors. These advantages enable it to continue to work under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high frequency, and it plays an irreplaceable role in aerospace, high-power electronic devices and other fields. [0003] There are currently three main methods for preparing silicon carbide, namely physical vapor transport method (referred to as PVT growth method), chemical vapor deposition method and liquid phase epitaxy method (referred to as LPE growth method). Among them, silicon carbide crystals pre...
