6H-SiC substrates grown by Lely method and modified Lely (LM) methods
have been studied by X-ray diffractometry and X-ray topography. It has
been shown that structural perfection of Lely substrates is significa
ntly higher than that of LM substrates: the former have a dislocation
density of 10(1)-10(3) dis cm(-2) (as compared with 10(3)-10(5) dis cm
(-2) for latter). Our experiments show that with the use of modernized
growth equipment it is possible to obtain Lely substrates with high s
tructural perfection and an area equal to that of LM substrates (1-1.5
'' diameter). (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
