摘要
The addition of hydrogen chloride (HCl) to our conventional CVD process allows for high growth rates up to 50 mu m/h while maintaining the step-flow growth mode. Such epilayers exhibit quite low total concentrations of point defects less than 2 x 10(13) cm(-3). But, the HCl addition shows an ambivalent influence on the concentration of the lifetime killer defect Z(1/2). For low growth rates, the Z(1/2) concentration slightly decreases with increasing HCl addition. For higher growth rates, the Z(1/2) concentration increases with increasing HCl addition.
