Abstract

The invention relates to a silicon carbide epitaxial growth control method and a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer. The control method comprises the steps of putting a silicon carbide substrate into a reaction chamber filled with hydrogen, and carrying out the etching, heating the reaction chamber, introducing a growth source, and carrying out first epitaxial growth, stopping introducing the hydrogen, discharging the residual gas in the reaction chamber out of the reaction chamber, only introducing inert gas into the reaction chamber to replace the residual gas, reducing the pressure of the reaction chamber to a first pressure, and adjusting epitaxial growth control parameters in the inert gas introduction process, after the parameters are adjusted, replacing inert gas in the reaction chamber with hydrogen, and increasing the pressure of the reaction chamber to second pressure for second epitaxial growth, and reducing the temperature and recovering to the initial pressure to obtain the silicon carbide epitaxial wafer. By adopting the method, continuous P-type epitaxial layers or N-type epitaxial layers with different doping types and different doping concentrations can be obtained, pits on the surface of the epitaxial wafer can be reduced, and the quality of the epitaxial wafer can be improved.

Background technique [0002] Silicon carbide (SiC), as a typical representative of the third-generation semiconductor material, has excellent physical, chemical and electrical properties. Its critical breakdown field strength is ten times that of silicon, its thermal conductivity is three times that of silicon, and it has an electron saturation migration rate twice higher than that of silicon, making it ideal for high-temperature, high-frequency, radiation-resistant, and high-power applications. extremely ideal semiconductor material. At the same time, SiC is also one of the most mature and widely used wide bandgap semiconductor materials in crystal growth technology and device manufacturing level. In 2001, Infineon of Germany took the lead in putting SiC Schottk...
