Description

Preparation method of 3C-SiC monocrystal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor material preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a 3C-SiC monocrystal.
Background
The silicon carbide material has the advantages of high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, radiation resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, high hardness, high thermal conductivity and the like. Compared with the hexagonal single crystal 4H-SiC which has been widely used in industry, the cubic single crystal 3C-SiC has higher electron mobility, saturated electron velocity and heat conductivity, and is more suitable for preparing devices such as MOSFETs and the like.
Currently, 4H-SiC single crystals have been widely used in the manufacture of IGBT, MOSFET and other devices. In industrial production, the first step in producing a 4H-SiC single crystal substrate is to grow a single crystal having a thickness of 10mm or more, followed by cutting, grinding and polishing steps to produce a substrate having a thickness of 350 μm. However, for 3C-SiC single crystals, preparing single crystals with a large thickness (> 1 mm) remains a challenge. CN115692181a discloses a method specifically comprising growing a 3C-SiC single crystal on a positive axis 4H-SiC single crystal substrate, but cannot be applied because of the easy formation of double stacked grain boundary defects. The prior art also discloses another method, specifically comprising growing a 3C-SiC single crystal on a Si single crystal substrate by chemical vapor deposition, but since the melting point of Si is 1414 ℃, the growth temperature cannot be higher or close to this temperature, otherwise the melted or softened Si substrate cannot be used as a growth substrate. Due to the low growth temperature, the growth rate of the 3C-SiC single crystal is slow, and it is difficult to grow a large-thickness 3C-SiC single crystal. For example, journal articles corresponding to Materials Science Forum Vols 457-460 (2004) pp 285-288 disclose the use of chemical vapor deposition methods for growing 3C-SiC single crystals on Si single crystal substrates at 1300℃, at a growth rate of 0.4-1.5 μm/h, and at a growth thickness of 2-6 μm.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need to develop a new preparation method of 3C-SiC single crystals to increase the growth rate and obtain large-thickness 3C-SiC single crystals.
