Abstract
Dislocations in highly nitrogen-doped (N > 1×1019 cm-3) low-resistivity ( < 10 mcm) 4H-SiC substrates were investigated by photoluminescence imaging, synchrotron X-ray topography, and defect selective etching using molten KOH. The behavior of dislocations is discussed particularly in terms of their glide motion in the presence of a high concentration of nitrogen. The results indicate that nitrogen impurities up to mid 1019 cm-3 concentration do not show any discernible influence on the glide behavior of basal plane dislocations (BPDs) in 4H-SiC crystals grown by physical vapor transport (PVT) method.
