Comparison of 4H Silicon Carbide Epitaxial Growths at Various Growth Pressures Using Dicholorosilane and Silane Gases

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiC epitaxial films grown in an inverted chimney CVD reactor using silane-propane-hydrogen and dichlorosilane (DCS)-propane-hydrogen systems are compared for growth rates and doping concentrations at various growth pressures. Parasitic depositions in the gas injector tube using these precursor gases are also compared for precursor depletion. Virtual Reactor, a commercial software, is employed to predict growth rates and compare them to experimental results for the same growth conditions using DCS and silane gases.
