Abstract

SiC single crystals have been grown by seeded sublimation method using physical vapor transport (PVT) system designed and fabricated in our laboratory. A novel multi-segmented graphite insulation has been used for improved heat containment in the hot-zone. Numerical modeling was used to obtain the temperature field and predict various growth parameters. The grown crystals were characterized using AFM, SWBXT and chemical etching.
