Popis: Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) is shown to be a powerful technique for identifying different polytypes of SiC-films deposited on 6H-SiC substrates. The rotational anisotropy of the SHG radiation reflected from homo-epitaxially grown 6H-SiC epilayers provides a clear fingerprint of microcrystalline inclusions of 3C-SiC. The large dynamic range of the SHG response of more than one order of magnitude between different SiC polytypes allows a fast nondestructive mapping of SiC wafer surfaces with a lateral resolution in the μm-regime.
