Impact of Mechanical Stress and Nitrogen Doping on the Defect Distribution in the Initial Stage of the 4H-SiC PVT Growth Process

Nitrogen incorporation changes the lattice spacing of SiC and can therefore lead to stress during physical vapor transport (PVT). The impact of the nitrogen-doping concentration during the initial phase of PVT growth of 4H-SiC was investigated using molten potassium hydroxide (KOH) etching, and the...
