摘要
Morphologies of BPDs in 4H-SiC epilayers with different nitrogen doping concentrations are explained in detail. While BPDs in low-doped epilayers have the typical morphology of gliding dislocations responding to stress, BPDs in highly doped ([N]>= 1.0x10(18) cm(-3)) epilayers are straight and tilt away from [11-20]. Structures of BPDs were further studied by weak-beam TEM.
