We observed the behavior of double Shockley stacking faults (DSFs) in 4H-SiC crystals with nitrogen concentrations of 1.0 x 10(19)-2.6 x 10(19) cm(-3 )over an extensive temperature range (1380-1910 K) by in-situ synchrotron X-ray topography. For a nitrogen concentration of 2.6 x 10(19) cm(-3), the expansion velocity of the DSFs exponentially increased with temperature in the range from 1370 to 1650 K. In contrast, at a nitrogen concentration of 1.0 x 10(19) cm(-3), this velocity decreased above 1610 K and the DSFs shrank above 1730 K. The DSF energy, the magnitude of which is the driving force on partial dislocation (PD) movement, was quantitatively estimated from the radius of the curvature of bowed-out partial PDs pinned by threading screw dislocations (TSDs), showing a positive temperature dependence and lying in the range from -0.6 to 0.8 mJ/m(2) for 1630-1910 K at a nitrogen concentration of 1.0 x 10(19) cm(-3). The DSF expansion and shrinkage behavior can be understood by the simple temperature and nitrogen concentration dependence of the DSF energy. (C) 2020 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
