The invention relates to the technical field of
silicon carbide materials, in particular to P-type
silicon carbide powder and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method includes the steps that S1,
dopant particles are subjected to
plasma cleaning treatment, screening treatment and
drying treatment; and S2, heating the
reaction chamber, constructing a gradient temperature zone, conveying
dopant particles into the
reaction chamber from the top of the
reaction chamber, conveying the preheated
mixed gas into the reaction chamber from the bottom of the reaction chamber, regulating the pressure in the reaction chamber, and forming the P-type
silicon carbide polycrystalline
powder with a gradient structure, discharging from the bottom of the reaction chamber; and S3, collecting the P-type
silicon carbide polycrystalline
powder, placing the collected P-type
silicon carbide polycrystalline powder in a
graphite crucible, raising the temperature in the
graphite crucible, carrying out heat preservation, and cooling to obtain the P-type
silicon carbide powder. When the
doping agent is used for
crystal growth, the
diffusion process of
doping agent particles in a powder
system can be limited, and the effect of sufficiently and stably supplying Al in the
crystal growth process is achieved.
