Description

Method for preparing SiC by raising temperature of Si-based solution through aluminothermic reaction
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of silicon carbide production, relates to SiC preparation, and in particular relates to a method for preparing SiC by increasing the temperature of a Si-based solution through aluminothermic reaction, which reduces the time required for heating, solves the problem of overhigh energy consumption in the SiC crystal growth process and reduces the production cost.
Background
SiC is a wide bandgap semiconductor material that stands out in a large number of semiconductor materials due to its high thermal conductivity, high breakdown field and large electron mobility. Typically, siC single crystals are prepared by Physical Vapor Transport (PVT), which requires high temperatures (about 2500K), and the dislocation density of the SiC substrate produced is still high, and the production of P-type SiC substrates by PVT is still difficult, limiting its further use.
The solution method attracts attention as a method for producing high-quality SiC single crystal, and the growth interface is almost in an equilibrium state during the growth process, so that grown crystal micropipes and dislocation defects are very few.
Solution growth generally requires placing a co-solvent and a high purity Si material together in a graphite crucible as the C source, and transporting the solution in a molten state to the upper seed crystal of the collapse with internal convection for crystal growth. Since the solubility of C in Si is very low at high temperatures, the addition of a co-solvent is generally required to promote the dissolution of C in Si. As the cosolvent, fe, ti, cr, etc. can be generally used. In recent decades, researchers have investigated the effect of various solution systems on crystal growth. For example, by using Si-Ti-C or Si-Cr-C solvents, a growth rate of about 0.3mm/h at relatively low temperatures (about 1800 ℃ C.) can be achieved.
The SiC crystal growth requires extremely high temperatures and the temperature rise process consumes a large amount of electrical energy. SiC substrates occupy 60% of the cost of the entire industry chain, and SiC can only be used in large-scale applications if the cost of the substrate is reduced.
Thermite reactions are a classical and practical chemical reaction. As shown in the following formula,
the aluminum simple substance can be combined with Fe at high temperature 2 O 3 、TiO 2 、Cr 2 O 3 The metal oxides react to generate a large amount of heat.
