Abstract

See full text

In SiC sublimation crystal growth, a crucible is charged with SiC source material and SiC seed crystal in spaced relation and a baffle is disposed in the growth crucible around the seed crystal. A first side of the baffle in the growth crucible defines a growth zone where a SiC single crystal grows on the SiC seed crystal. A second side of the baffle in the growth crucible defines a vapor-capture trap around the SiC seed crystal. The growth crucible is heated to a SiC growth temperature whereupon the SiC source material sublimates and forms a vapor which is transported to the growth zone where the SiC crystal grows by precipitation of the vapor on the SiC seed crystal. A fraction of this vapor enters the vapor-capture trap where it is removed from the growth zone during growth of the SiC crystal.
