Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Silicon carbide (SiC) wafers, SiC boules, and related methods are disclosed that provide improved dislocation distributions. SiC boules are provided that demonstrate reduced dislocation densities and improved dislocation uniformity across longer boule lengths. Corresponding SiC wafers include reduced total dislocation density (TDD) values and improved TDD radial uniformity. Growth conditions for SiC crystalline materials include providing source materials in oversaturated quantities where amounts of the source materials present during growth are significantly higher than what would typically be required. Such SiC crystalline materials and related methods are suitable for providing large diameter SiC boules and corresponding SiC wafers with improved crystalline quality.
