摘要
Cold-wall vapor phase epitaxy was utilized to grow uniform 4H-SiC layers with abrupt doping interfaces on 4 degrees off-axis substrates. Concentrations of Al were reduced roughly 200x after 0.1 mu m of epitaxy after trimethyfaluminum flow was stopped. Thickness uniformity of cold-wall epitaxy across 3" wafers was as good as 3.2%. Minority carrier diffusion lengths of 27 mu m-thick 4H-SiC epitaxy grown in a cold-wall design were as high as 58 mu m.
