Abstract
Using the X-ray-beam-induced current (XBIC) method, stacking faults in hexagonal silicon carbide 4H-SiC are studied. It is shown that the XBIC method using a laboratory source makes it possible to reveal extended defects in samples with a submicron diffusion length and anomalous bright contrast. The fault contrast is measured and compared with the contrast obtained in the electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) method. Discussion of the obtained results is presented.
