Review of solution growth techniques for 4H-SiC single crystal

Abstract

The third-generation semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) has the characteristics of the wide band gap, high electric breakdown voltage, large saturated drift velocity, and high thermal conductivity, which are favorable for power devices under high-voltage, high temperature, and high-frequency scenarios [1,2] . Automotive applications are expected to remain a primary market for SiC power segments since they are one of the main drivers of the total power electronics market. The overall market for SiC devices is expected to exceed US$2.5 billion by 2025, with a compound annual
