Abstract

We have analyzed the mass transport during physical vapor transport growth of SiC using C-13 for labeling of the SiC gas species (i.e. Si2C and SiC2) paths and digital x-ray imaging in order to monitor the evolution of the SiC crystal and SiC source material. The distribution of (SiC)-C-13 was investigated after growth by Micro-Raman spectroscopy. The slow onset of the C-13 incorporation into the SiC crystal as well as the enrichment of C-13 in the residual source material indicate that the major mass transport is conducted through the center of the source material and not along the hot crucible walls where SiC consumption is observed first. Numerical modeling of sublimation and recrystallization inside the SiC source material has been carried out. Effects like the formation of a condensed disk on top of the source material, consumption of SiC close to the hot crucible walls, etc. are described well. The experimental as well as numerical methods are believed to be useful tools for scaling up current growth setups towards large single crystal diameters.
