Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for forming a silicon carbide crystal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, reference will be made to Figure 1 the silicon carbide seed crystal and Figure 2 the crystal growth apparatus, in conjunction with Figure 3 the flowchart to describe a method for forming a silicon carbide crystal according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] As shown in step S10 of Figure 1 and Figure 3 in the method for forming a silicon carbide crystal according to an embodiment of the present invention, a silicon carbide seed crystal 106 is pre-formed. In some embodiments, the method for forming the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 includes performing Figure 3 step S11 to form a first seed crystal layer 106B, where the first seed crystal layer 106B includes a polycrystalline silicon carbide material.

[0035] In some embodiments, the polycrystalline silicon carbide material of the first seed crystal layer 106B is formed by process A, by physical vapor transport (PVT) process in the temperature range of 1900°C to 2300°C, and the thermal conductivity of the polycrystalline silicon carbide material formed by the physical vapor transport process is 180 w / mK or more. In addition, the grain size of the formed polycrystalline silicon carbide material is in the range of 1 mm to 20 mm.

[0036] In another embodiment, the polycrystalline silicon carbide material of the first seed crystal layer 106B is formed by process B, by powder hot pressing process in the temperature range of 1800°C to 2100°C, and the thermal conductivity of the polycrystalline silicon carbide material formed by the powder hot pressing process is 100 w / mK or more. In addition, the grain size of the formed polycrystalline silicon carbide material is in the range of 1 µm to 500 µm.

[0037] In yet another embodiment, the polycrystalline silicon carbide material of the first seed crystal layer 106B is formed by process C, by chemical vapor deposition process in the temperature range of 1200°C to 1600°C, and the thermal conductivity of the polycrystalline silicon carbide material formed by the chemical vapor deposition process is 150 w / mK or more. In addition, the grain size of the formed polycrystalline silicon carbide material is in the range of 5 µm to 50 µm.

[0038] After forming the first crystal layer 106B, step S12 is then performed Figure 3 to form the second crystal layer 106A. The second crystal layer 106A includes a single-crystal silicon carbide material, and the basal plane dislocation (BPD) density of the second crystal layer 106A is less than 500 / cm 2 , the threading screw dislocation (TSD) density is less than 30 / cm 2 or less, and the basal stacking fault (BSF) density is 30 / wafers or less.

[0039] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio (T2 / T1) of the thickness T1 of the first crystal layer 106B to the thickness T2 of the second crystal layer 106A is controlled within the range of 10% to 50%. In some embodiments, the thickness ratio (T2 / T1) is controlled within the range of 30% to 50%. In other words, the first crystal layer 106B is a relatively thick seed crystal layer, and the second crystal layer 106A is a relatively thin seed crystal layer. In an exemplary embodiment, when the thickness ratio (T2 / T1) of the first crystal layer 106B to the second crystal layer 106A in the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 is controlled within the above range, the formed silicon carbide crystal can have better geometric quality.

[0040] In addition, in the case of meeting the above thickness ratio, the thickness T1 of the first crystal layer 106B is, for example, 2000 µm or less, and the thickness T2 of the second crystal layer 106A is, for example, 1000 µm or less. In some embodiments, the total thickness of the first crystal layer 106B and the second crystal layer 106A is, for example, 3000 µm or less.

[0041] After forming the second crystal layer 106A, step S13 is performed Figure 3 to directly bond the second crystal layer 106A onto the first crystal layer 106B to form the silicon carbide seed crystal 106. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second crystal layer 106A is bonded in a manner of directly contacting the surface of the first crystal layer 106B. In other words, there is no intermediate material between the first crystal layer 106B and the second crystal layer 106A. In some embodiments, the method of bonding the second crystal layer 106A includes ion implantation, reactive ion etching plasma (RIE plasma), epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), surface activation, laser, combinations thereof, etc. to bond with the first crystal layer 106B.

[0042] Next, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3In step S20, a raw material 110 containing carbon and silicon elements and a silicon carbide seed crystal 106 (including a first seed crystal layer 106B and a second seed crystal layer 106A) above the raw material 110 are provided in a reactor 102. For example, the raw material 110 is, for example, silicon carbide powder, which is placed at the bottom end of the reactor 102 as a solid sublimation source. The silicon carbide seed crystal 106 is disposed at the top end of the reactor 102. In some embodiments, the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 can be fixed to a seed crystal carrier (not shown) through an adhesive layer, or fixed to the seed crystal carrier using other fixtures, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the second seed crystal layer 106A of the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 is a crystal growth surface. Therefore, the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 is fixed to a seed crystal carrier (not shown) through the first seed crystal layer 106B.

[0043] Next, as shown in step S30 of Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a silicon carbide crystal growth process is performed to form a silicon carbide crystal 108 as shown in Figure 2 . For example, the silicon carbide crystal 108 is grown using the second seed crystal layer 106A of the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 as the crystal growth surface, and the growth process includes heating the reactor 102 and the raw material 100 to form the silicon carbide crystal 108 on the silicon carbide seed crystal 106.

[0044] In the above step S30, the silicon carbide crystal 108 is formed on the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 by Physical Vapor Transport (PVT). In some embodiments, the reactor 102 and the raw material 110 are heated by an induction coil 104 to form the silicon carbide crystal 108 on the silicon carbide seed crystal 106. In the process, the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 will receive the raw material 110 (silicon carbide powder) solidified from the gas state and slowly grow a semiconductor crystal on the silicon carbide seed crystal 106 until a silicon carbide crystal 108 with an expected size is obtained. After the silicon carbide crystal 108 grows to the expected size, the reactor 102 and the raw material 110 are cooled to obtain a silicon carbide ingot composed of the silicon carbide crystal 108. In some embodiments, the formed ingot may have different crystal structures depending on the crystal orientation of the single crystal seed used for the second seed crystal layer 106A. For example, the silicon carbide ingot includes 4H-silicon carbide, 6H-silicon carbide, etc. Both 4H-silicon carbide and 6H-silicon carbide belong to the hexagonal crystal system; in addition, the methods for forming the seed crystal 106 and the silicon carbide crystal 108 can both use Physical Vapor Transport (PVT), but different growth methods can also be adopted, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, when forming a silicon carbide crystal 108 through the above-mentioned silicon carbide seed crystal 106 having a first crystal layer 106B and a second crystal layer 106A, the formed silicon carbide crystal 108 can have better geometric quality. For example, the basal plane dislocation (BPD) density of the obtained silicon carbide crystal 108 can be controlled to be less than 500 / cm 2 , the through screw dislocation (TSD) density can be controlled to be less than 20 / cm 2 Hereinafter, and the basal stacking fault (BSF) density can be controlled to be 10 or less per wafer. After forming the silicon carbide crystal 108, the second crystal layer 106A can be peeled off from the silicon carbide seed crystal 106, and the first crystal layer 106B can be reused to perform another growth process of the silicon carbide crystal 108.
