4H-SiC Epitaxial Growth on C-Face 150 mm SiC Substrate

Abstract

The production of 150 mm-diameter SiC epitaxial wafers is the key to the spread of SiC power devices. We have developed production technology of the epitaxial growth for 4° off Carbon face (C-face) 4H-SiC epitaxial layers on 150 mm diameter substrates. Several growth parameters and hardware were optimized to obtain high uniformity wafers. We have succeeded in fabricating high quality C-face wafers with smooth surface and high uniformity.
