  • Publication number: 20240105782
    Abstract: A monocrystalline SiC substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface. The first surface comprises pinning regions and a device region. Each of the pinning regions is configured to provide a potential well which is capable to attract dislocations from a region surrounding said pinning region. The device region is configured to provide a part of the monocrystalline SiC substrate for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The device region is surrounded by the pinning regions, and a density of dislocations in a central portion of the device region is smaller than a density of dislocations in an edge of the device region due to the pinning regions. The pinning regions surrounding the device region attracts dislocations of the device region into the edge portion, so that the density of dislocations in the central portion is reduced. A yield of the semiconductor devices is improved.
