Abstract To fulfill the requirements of silicon carbide (SiC) single crystal growth applications, this study achieved the preparation of high-purity SiC powders via self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). Key process parameters — including temperature, pressure, Si/C molar ratio, reaction duration, and carbon source characteristics — were systematically investigated to assess their impacts on phase composition, morphological features, and purity levels. The experimental results demonstrate that α-SiC powders synthesized with finer-grained carbon sources under optimized conditions (2 080 ℃, 5 Pa pressure, Si/C molar ratio of 1.05, and 10-hour reaction duration) exhibit a monolithic crystalline structure, achieving an average particle size of 646 μm and purity levels exceeding 6N (99.999 9%). The resultant crystals displayed an average resistivity of 0.020 2 Ω·cm with complete absence of polytypic inclusions and parcel defects. Specifically, threading screw dislocation (TSD) and basal plane dislocation (BPD) densities were measured at 9 cm-2 and 22 cm-2, respectively. These metrics confirm that the optimized SHS-derived powders satisfy the stringent criteria for premium-grade SiC crystal production.
