Epitaxial growth of n-type 4H-SiC on 3" wafers for power devices
In this paper we present recent results of epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC on 3" (0001) 8° and 4° off-oriented wafers using a multi-wafer hot-wall CVD system. This equipment exhibits a capacity of 5x3" or 7x2" wafers per ran. By optimizing the process conditions epitaxial layers with excellent crystal quality, purity and homogeneity in doping and thickness were grown. The intra-wafer as well as the wafer-to-wafer homogeneity will be illustrated by doping and thickness mappings of a full-loaded run. Surface morphology of epitaxial layers on 8° and 4° off-oriented wafers was investigated by atomic force microscopy.
