Abstract: | EPR spectra of deep boron in 4H-SiC and 3C-SiC crystals have been observed and studied. Two sites in 4H-SiC produced deep-boron EPR signals, quasi-cubic k and hexagonal h. In both cases the deep-boron center symmetry is close to axial along the c crystal axis, and the g factor anisotropy is about an order of magnitude larger than that for shallow boron centers. In the 3C-SiC crystal, the deep-boron symmetry is also close to axial along one of the four 〈111〉 directions. The model proposed for
the deep boron center with acceptor properties is BSi-v
C, where BSi is the boron substituting for silicon, and v
C is the carbon vacancy, with the BSi-v
C direction coinciding in 4HSiC with the hexagonal axis of the crystal for both k and h positions. In the cubic 3C-SiC crystal, there are four equivalent deep boron centers, which represent BSi-v
C pairs with the bond directed along one of the four 〈111〉 crystal directions.
