Popis: Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material for next-generation high-power devices, but the high cost of forming wafers is causing a bottleneck in the replacement of Si with SiC. We report a new solution growth process that exhibits potential for the growth of SiC for industrial applications. The driving force of this new process is the chemical potential difference between 3C– and 4H–SiC polytypes and is explained using a stable and metastable double-phase diagram.
