摘要
Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP-OES and ICP-MS) have been used to study the impurity concentration within different stages of the SiC crystal growth technology. The pure constituents silicon and carbon, the synthesized SiC powder as well as sublimation grown crystals of 6H polytype were investigated. It was found that the main impurities are iron, aluminium, tungsten, vanadium, nickel and copper. Although high purity silicon and carbon were used as starting materials the impurity level increases due to the preparation technique. However, in comparison to the SIC source powder the crystals show a reduction in the impurity concentration by one order of magnitude. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
