Abstract
The effect of heavy vanadium doping on the growth of SiC single crystal was investigated. Pyramidal and cubic vanadium precipitates were discovered on the as-grown surface by DIC microscope. Further observation by AFM and SEM shows that the original parallel growth steps are twisted due to the blockage of vanadium precipitates, forming a triangular stepped flow with vanadium precipitates as the vertex. The results of secondary ion energy spectroscopy show that the doping amount of vanadium is close to its saturated solubility in SiC.
