Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of an N-type low-drift-angle silicon carbide epitaxial wafer. The method comprises the following steps: preparation of a substrate, online etching of the substrate, growing of a buffer layer and the growing of an epitaxial layer, wherein the growing of the epitaxial layer employs a method of "growing, etching, blowing and regrowing". The method provided by the invention effectively reduces the base dislocation density and reduces deposits in a cavity during the process of growing the N-type low-drift-angle silicon carbide epitaxial wafer, accordingly reduces the triangle defect caused by foreign particles, improves the quality of a silicon carbide epitaxial material, and is low in processing cost, thereby being suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a semiconductor material, in particular to a method for preparing an N-type low off-angle silicon carbide epitaxial wafer. Background technique [0002] Silicon carbide has good chemical inertness, high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, and has great application potential in the field of high-power power electronics. Silicon carbide is a homogenous polymorphic material, and more than 250 crystalline forms have been discovered. Among the many SiC polytypes, 4H-SiC is known for its large bandgap (3.26eV) and high mobility (900cm 2 / Vs) and smaller anisotropy are considered to be more suitable for the manufacture of high-power and high-backvoltage electronic devices. [0003] The essence of the current SiC 8° and 4° off-angle epitaxial growth "step control epitaxy" technology is the flow of atomic steps. This technology not only effectively controls the crystal form of SiC, but also reduces...
