| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Growth interface during solution growth of 4H-SiC from Fe-Si or Si-Cr solvent was investigated at 1673 - 1880 K by the in-situ observation. Formation of 3C-SiC, the different polytype from 4H-SiC, significantly decreased by increasing growth temperature, suggesting the importance of the control of temperature during continuous growth of 4H-SiC. In addition, the height measurement during competition between the steps and the spiral growth of 4H-SiC revealed that the step height at the coverage of the spiral center is the key factor to decide the growth mode.
The polytype stability was also evaluated by the first principles calculation. 3C-SiC was estimated to be the most stable polytype with the consideration of van der Waals interaction, which agreed with the tendency of the stability of the polytypes in experiments at low temperature.
