Bulk, low impurity silicon carbide single crystals are grown by deposition of vapor species containing silicon and vapor species containing carbon on a crystal growth interface. The silicon source vapor is provided by vaporizing liquid silicon and transporting the silicon vapor to a crystal growth crucible. The carbon vapor species are provided by either a carbon containing source gas (for example, CN) or by flowing the silicon source vapor over or through a solid carbon source, for example flowing the silicon vapor through porous graphite or a bed of graphite particles. |
