Abstract

We achieved the convex growth interface shape in top-seeded solution growth of SiC applying non-axisymmetric solution convection induced by non-axisymmetric temperature distribution. The detailed solution flow, temperature distribution and carbon concentration distribution were calculated by 3-dimensional numerical analysis. In the present case, the solution flow below the crystal was unidirectional and the supersaturation was increased along the solution flow direction. By the rotation of the crystal in the unidirectional flow and the temperature distribution, we successfully obtained the crystal with the convex growth interface shape.
