5-5-1 Choice of Polytype for Devices
5-5-1 Choice of Polytype for Devices As discussed in Section 4, 4H- and 6H-SiC are the far superior forms of semiconductor device quality SiC commercially available in mass-produced wafer form. Therefore, only 4H- and 6H-SiC device processing methods will be explicitly considered in the rest [...]

5-4-4-2 SiC Epitaxial Growth Polytype Control
5-4-4-2 SiC Epitaxial Growth Polytype Control Homoepitaxial growth, whereby the polytype of the SiC epilayer matches the polytype of the SiC substrate, is accomplished by “step-controlled” epitaxy . Step-controlled epitaxy is based upon growing epilayers on an SiC wafer polished at an angle (called the [...]

5-4 SiC Semiconductor Crystal Growth
5-4 SiC Semiconductor Crystal Growth As of this writing, much of the outstanding theoretical promise of SiC electronics highlighted in the previous section has largely gone unrealized. A brief historical examination quickly shows that serious shortcomings in SiC semiconductor material manufacturability and quality have greatly hindered the development [...]
