Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the rate-limiting process of 4H-SiC solution growth using Si-Cr based melt, and have tried high-speed growth. It is revealed that the rate-limiting process of SiC growth under our experimental condition is interface kinetics, which can be controlled by such factors as temperature and super saturation of carbon. By enhancing the interface kinetics, SiC crystal has been grown at a high rate of 2 mm/h. The FWHM values of X-ray rocking curves and threading dislocation density of the grown crystals are almost the same as those of the seed crystal. Possibility of high-speed and high-quality growth of 4H-SiC has been indicated.
