The effect of 6H-SiC crystal growth shapes on the thermo-elastic stress distribution in the growing crystal was systematically investigated by using a finite element method.The thermo-elastic stress distribution in the crystal with a flat growth shape was more homogeneous than that in the crystals with concave and convex growth shapes,and the value of thermo-elasticity in the crystal with a fiat growth shape was also smaller than that in the two other types of crystals.The maximum values of thermo-elastic stress appeared at interfaces between the crystal and the graphite lid.If the lid was of the same properties as 6H-SiC,the thermo-elastic stress would decrease in two orders of magnitude.Thus,to grow 6H-SiC single crystals of high quality,a transition layer of SiC formed by deposition or reaction is suggested;meanwhile the thermal field in the growth chamber should be adjusted to maintain the crystals with flat growth shapes.
