METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING SiC SINGLE CRYSTAL FILM

摘要

A manufacturing method for a SiC single crystal film which allows stable growth of a SiC epitaxial film with a low doping concentration on a substrate with a diameter of at least 2 inches by the LPE method using a SiC solution in solvent of a melt includes an evacuation step in which the interior of a crystal growth furnace is evacuated with heating until the vacuum pressure at the crystal growth temperature is 5 x 10 -3 Pa or lower prior to introducing a raw material for the melt into the furnace. Then, a crucible containing a raw material for the melt is introduced into the furnace, a SiC solution is formed, and a SiC epitaxial film is grown on a substrate immersed in the solution.
