摘要
Highly doped 4H-SiC will show a significant lattice parameter difference with respect to the undoped material. We have applied the recently developed monochromatic contour mapping technique for 4H-SiC crystals to a 4H-SiC wafer crystal characterized by nitrogen doping concentration variation across the whole sample surface using a synchrotron monochromatic x-ray beam. Strain maps of 0008 and − 2203 planes were derived by deconvoluting the lattice parameter variations from the lattice tilt. Analysis reveals markedly different strain values within and out of the basal plane indicating the strain induced by nitrogen doping is anisotropic in the 4H-SiC hexagonal crystal structure. The highest strain calculated along growth direction [0001] and along [1-100] on the closed packed basal plane is up to − 4 × 10−4 and − 2.7 × 10−3, respectively. Using an anisotropic elasticity model by separating the whole bulk crystal into numerous identical rectangular prism units, the measured strain was related to the doping concentration and the calculated highest nitrogen level inside wafer crystal was determined to be 1.5 × 1020 cm−3. This is in agreement with observation of double Shockley stacking faults in the highly doped region that are predicted to nucleate at nitrogen levels above 2 × 1019 cm−3.
