Abstract

Close Space PVT (CS-PVT) is a modification of standard PVT exhibiting a short source-to-seed-distance and enabling a large variety of growth process variations to meet the specific requirements of the SiC material (i.e. special polytype and/or doping) to be grown. In this work, we study the growth of 4H-SiC p-i-n structures exhibiting thick SiC layers to be used as SiC photovoltaic cells for remote power transfer in space. Nevertheless, the found results are also applicable (i) to the SiC thick layer growth of power electronic devices and (ii) SiC pucks with a thickness of up to 10mm. In addition, we present the new type of growth machine TableTopCSTM in its design being dedicated for the special crucible configuration of CS-PVT.
