ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for growing semiconductor grade silicon carbide boules (84). Pure silicon feedstock (36) is melted and vaporized. The vaporized silicon is reacted with a high purity carbon-containing gas (64), such as propane, and the gaseous species resulting from the reaction are deposited on a silicon carbide seed crystal (50), resulting in the growth of monocrystalline silicon carbide.
