Description

Method for preparing high-purity silicon carbide by chemical vapor deposition
Technical Field

Background
Silicon carbide single crystal Substrates (SiC) are third generation compound semiconductor materials, and compound materials composed of two elements of carbon and silicon are mainly divided into conductive type and semi-insulating type, wherein the conductive silicon carbide substrates (silicon carbide epitaxy) are mainly used for manufacturing high-power devices with high temperature resistance and high voltage resistance, and are widely applied to the fields of electronic power, such as new energy automobiles, photovoltaics, smart grids, rail transit and the like, and the market scale is larger; in addition, the semi-insulating silicon carbide substrate (gallium nitride epitaxy) is mainly applied to the fields of filtering radio frequency devices and the like, such as a power amplifier in 5G communication, a radio detector in national defense and the like, and along with the acceleration construction of a 5G communication network, market demands are obviously improved.
The main preparation method of the silicon carbide single crystal material is PVT (physical vapor transport method), and high-purity silicon carbide powder is used as a raw material to grow silicon carbide single crystals, so that a silicon carbide single crystal substrate is obtained. At present, four methods for preparing high-purity silicon carbide powder are mainly adopted: chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), plasma, sol-gel, self-propagating high temperature synthesis, which is the main synthesis of silicon carbide powder worldwide and is the most well-established in current use.
A well-established method for global silicon carbide enterprises is a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method. The improved self-propagating high-temperature synthesis process of silicon carbide powder adopts high-purity silicon powder and high-purity carbon powder as raw materials, and is sintered in high-temperature sintering furnace, and the temperature is controlled to be 1800-2000 deg.C, and the high-purity silicon carbide synthesized powder is finally obtained. The defects of the silicon carbide powder prepared by the method are obvious, firstly, raw material silicon powder and carbon powder need to be pretreated, and meanwhile, impurities in the powder can be completely transferred into the silicon carbide powder, so that the purity of the silicon carbide powder is completely limited by the purity of the silicon powder and the carbon powder, and even new impurities can be introduced in the pretreatment process. Secondly, the sintering process needs to maintain a high-temperature state for a long time, the reaction time is long, the yield is low, and the current single-furnace sintering yield is only 100-150kg. Then, problems of incomplete reaction or excessive carbon are liable to occur in the sintering process, and further removal of carbon is required. In addition, the sintering reaction needs to use high-purity auxiliary materials such as a graphite crucible, a thermal insulation felt and the like, impurities are easy to bring in, and the loss of graphite parts is large, so that the preparation cost of the silicon carbide powder is high.
In a comprehensive view, the existing self-propagating synthetic silicon carbide powder has the defects of limited raw material purity, easiness in introducing impurities in the process, difficulty in reaching more than 6N, insufficient carbon excess in sintering, large consumption of auxiliary materials such as graphite pieces and high operation energy consumption, so that the preparation cost of the high-purity silicon carbide powder is high.
