Abstract：As the general method of defect characterization is destructive, during the current research on the effect of defect on device, nondestructive defect characterization is important especially. The defects of 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layer had been observed and studied, based on the principle of cathodoluminescence(CL). The results show that the intrinsic stacking faults(SFs), threading edge dislocations(TEDs), threading screw dislocations(TSDs) and basal plane dislocations(BPDs) can be observed by cathodoluminescence. The shape are rightangle triangle, dot and stick, repectively. So this method is available for nondestructive defect characterization. The correlation between 4H-SiC substrate defects and epilayer defects will be established if we characterize the defects of 4H-SiC wafers with and without an epilayer. In addition, if we characterize the defects of device before and after operation, the correlation between SiC defects of the devices before and after operation will be established, too.
