Nitrogen doping of 4H–SiC by the top-seeded solution growth technique using Si–Ti solvent

The nitrogen doping behavior of 4H–SiC was investigated by the top-seeded solution growth technique using Si–Ti solvent. Growth experiments were performed under a mixed gas of helium and nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at 1940°C, in which nitrogen content ranged between 0.17 and 0.5vol%. The electr...

description The nitrogen doping behavior of 4H–SiC was investigated by the top-seeded solution growth technique using Si–Ti solvent. Growth experiments were performed under a mixed gas of helium and nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at 1940°C, in which nitrogen content ranged between 0.17 and 0.5vol%. The electrical property and structural quality of nitrogen-doped crystals were examined. The nitrogen doping level increased with the increase of nitrogen content in the growth furnace. The most heavily nitrogen-doped SiC with a concentration of 1.1×1020cm−3 was obtained; however, stacking faults (SFs) were abruptly generated above a nitrogen concentration of 3.0×1019cm−3. The lowest resistivity of approximately 0.010Ωcm was obtained with SFs-free. Based on the both undoped and nitrogen-doped growth experimental results, the nitrogen incorporation behavior by employing our solution growth technique was discussed. •Nitrogen doping behavior of 4H–SiC was investigated by the top-seeded solution growth technique.•Suppression of the background nitrogen level is achieved by the baking procedure.•Doping concentration could be controlled by changing the nitrogen partial pressure during growth.•Stacking faults were generated when the nitrogen concentration in SiC exceeded 3.0×1019cm−3.•The lowest resistivity of approximately 0.010Ωcm was obtained with excellent crystalline quality.
