Comparative study of 3C-SiC layers sublimation-grown on a 6H-SiC substrate
- Russian Academy of Sciences, Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute (Russian Federation)
n-3C-SiC/n-6H-SiC heterostructures grown by vacuum sublimation on CREE commercial 6H-SiC substrates are studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that a transitional layer of varying thickness, composed of a mixture of 3C- and 6H-SiC polytypes, is formed on the substrate. A 3C polytype layer was obtained on the interlayer. Cathodoluminescence study of the surface of the film demonstrated that defects in the form of inclusions of another phase (6H-polytype), stacking faults, and twin boundaries (separating domains of cubic modification, grown in various orientations) are found on the surface and in the surface layer with a thickness on the order of 100 {mu}m. Varying the growth conditions changes the concentration of various types of defects.
