Abstract

SiC homo-epitaxial layers have been grown using a halide chemical vapor deposition (HCVD) process. The thermodynamic process of SiC CVD in SiCl 4-C 3H 8-H 2 gas system was studied using equilibrium model. The predicted growth rate decreases gradually with the increase in growth temperature, and this trend is consistent with our experimental results. Good quality epitaxial layers with low density of basal plane dislocations could be grown. Some elementary screw dislocations present in the substrate do not seem to be propagating into the epitaxial layer.
