摘要
The transformation of 4H-SiC etching shapes by high-temperature annealing was investigated. Although the opening of the etching mask was circular, the resulting etched shape was a hexagon, dodecagon, or rounded polygon with more edges, depending on the diameter. A hexagon was transformed into a dodecagon following high-temperature annealing, and a dodecagon was transformed into a rounded polygon. (C) 2010 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
