By low pressure vapour phase epitaxy (LPVPE) epitaxial growth down to 760ºC has been achieved in the SiC12H2/H2 system, as revealed by RBS and channeling measurements ( min ∼4.0%). High and relative homogeneous doping was obtained with boron resp. phosphorus in the range 1x1018 -5x1019 cm-3 for T: 800º - 900ºC. Sharp transitions in the boron doping profile to the substrate, of the order of 15mn, result only for temperatures much lower than 850ºC. Schottky barrier enhanced diodes with promising performances were formed with Ti evaporated on p+n layers grown selectively on n+ substrates.
