摘要
Differences in the concentration of native defects were found in variously doped samples. The concentration of these grown in clusters is at least in the range of 10(16) cm(-3). An order of magnitude larger concentration of grown in defects is found in the heavily n-type material. Monovacancies are observed after electron irradiation at 100 K in bulk n-type 6H-SiC. These vacancies are in the neutral charge state and do not represent shallow positron traps. At about 375 K a large fraction of these vacancies anneal by Frenkel pair recombination.
