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 [...]
