  ABSTRACT: In this work, C-Scan Acoustic Scanning Microscopy (ASM) is used to map the defects of three SiC samples. The acoustic images indicate that numerous defects with different shapes and areasexist in the wafers. Some of the defects have areas of more than 100,000 μm2. The number of defects ranges from 1 to 50 defects/wafer. Defect mapping is essential for defect repairing or avoidance.This work shows that ASM can locate the precise positions of the crystallographic defects, whichenablesdefects repair and yield enhancement.
