High‐quality, monocrystalline 6H‐SiC thin films have been epitaxially grown on 6H‐SiC {0001} substrates which were prepared 3° off‐axis from 〈0001〉 towards 〈1120〉 at 1773 K via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Essentially, no defects were generated from the epilayer/substrate interface as determined by cross‐sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). Double positioning boundaries which were observed in β‐SiC grown on 6H‐SiC substrates were eliminated as confirmed by plan‐view TEM. A strong dependence of the surface morphology of the as‐grown thin films on the tilting orientation of the substrates was observed and reasons for this phenomenon are discussed. The unintentionally doped 6H‐SiC thin films always exhibit n‐type conduction with a carrier concentration on the order of 1016 cm−3. Au‐6H‐SiC Schottky barrier diodes were fabricated on the CVD 6H‐SiC thin films and it was found that the leakage current at a reverse bias of 55 V was only 3.2×10−5 A/cm2. This is compared to SiC films grown on oth...
