Piezo-Hall effect and fundamental piezo-Hall coefficients of single crystal n-type 3C-SiC(100) with low carrier concentration

摘要

This article reports the results on the piezo-Hall effect in single crystal n-type 3C-SiC(100) having a low carrier concentration. The effect of the crystallographic orientation on the piezo-Hall effect has been investigated by applying stress to the Hall devices fabricated in different crystallographic direc-tions. Single crystal n-type 3C-SiC(100) and 3C-SiC(111) were grown by low pressure chemical vapor deposition at 1250 ℃. Fundamental piezo-Hall coefficients were obtained using the piezo-Hall effect measurements as P_(11) = (-29± 1.3) × 10~(-11)Pa~(-1), P_(12) = (11.06± 0.5)× 10~(-11)Pa~(-1), and P_(44) = (-3.4 ±0.7) × 10~(-11)Pa~(-1). It has been observed that the piezo-Hall coefficients of n-type 3C-SiC(100) show a completely different behavior as compared to that of p-type 3C-SiC.
