A. Ellison et al., WAFER WARPAGE, CRYSTAL BENDING AND INTERFACE PROPERTIES OF 4H-SIC EPI-WAFERS, DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS, 6(10), 1997, pp. 1369-1373
The relationship between the warpage of 4H-SiC CVD grown epi-wafers wi
th crystal bending and substrate properties is investigated. The wafer
surface preparation before and after epitaxy is found to affect both
long range properties such as the wafer flatness and to some extent lo
cal properties such as the epi-substrate interface. Structural charact
erisation is carried out using X-ray diffraction techniques and KOH et
ching. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
