- 1. Nature 430, 1009 (2004) , “Ultrahigh-quality silicon carbide single crystals”, Daisuke Nakamura, Itaru Gunjishima, Satoshi Yamaguchi, Tadashi Ito, Atsuto Okamoto, Hiroyuki Kondo, Shoichi Onda, Kazumasa TakatoriSilicon carbide (SiC) has a range of useful physical, mechanical and electronic properties that make it a promising material for next-generation electronic devices1,2. Careful consideration of the thermal conditions3-6 in which SiC {0001} is grown has resulted in improvements in crystal diameter and quality: the quantity of macroscopic defects such as hollow core dislocations (micropipes)7-9, inclusions, small-angle boundaries and longrange lattice warp has been reduced10,11. But some macroscopic defects (about 1–10 cm-2) and a large density of elementary dislocations (,104 cm-2), such as edge, basal plane and screw dislocations, remain within the crystal, and have so far prevented the realization of high-efficiency, reliable electronic devices in SiC (refs 12–16). Here we report a method, inspired by the dislocation structure of SiC grown perpendicular to the c-axis (a-face growth)17, to reduce the number of dislocations in SiC single crystals by two to three orders of magnitude, rendering them virtually dislocation-free. These substrates will promote the development of high-power SiC devices and reduce energy losses of the resulting electrical systems. (Read more)

Wong, and J. P. LiuThe authors previously reported an unusual phenomenon of strain relaxation accompanied by a reduction in threading dislocation density (TDD) on a Si0.77Ge0.23 layer grown on top of alternating layers of...

HallénThe annealing behavior of interstitial-type basal plane dislocation loops in Al ion implanted 4H-SiC is investigated. It is shown that the loops undergo a dynamical ripening process. For annealing below 1700 °C the total area of dislocation loops increases, indicating that point defects... (Read more)

HaOnly a few years ago, an account of degradation of silicon carbide high-voltage p-i-n diodes was presented at the European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Compounds (Kloster Banz, Germany, 2000). This report was followed by the intense effort of multiple groups... (Read more)

Phys. 99, 063513 (2006) , “Superscrew dislocations in silicon carbide: Dissociation, aggregation, and formation”, Xianyun MaAn approach to precisely determine the magnitude and the sign of Burgers vectors of superscrew dislocations (including elementary screw dislocations and micropipes) in silicon carbide (SiC) single crystals has been developed. The histogram of Burgers vector values associated with micropipes follows... (Read more)

BriddonSiC bipolar devices show a degradation under forward-biased operation which has been linked with a current induced motion of one of the two glide dislocations having either Si or C core atoms. We have carried out calculations of the core structures and dynamics of partial dislocations in 3C and... (Read more)

TsaiThe ramification of micropipes is observed using scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and synchrotron x-ray radiography. The conditions for the ramification of dislocated micropipes are determined theoretically within a model when the angles between dislocation lines are small. It is... (Read more)

Vetter, Michael DudleyHexagonal voids observed in sublimation grown SiC boules were examined using optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy, KOH etching, and synchrotron white-beam x-ray topography. Voids formed at imperfections in the attachment layer between the seed and crucible... (Read more)

DasThe driving force of stacking-fault expansion in SiC pin diodes was investigated using optical emission microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The stacking-fault expansion and properties of the partial dislocations were inconsistent with any stress as the... (Read more)
