Abstract
An example seed structure, systems, and methods for conducting crystal growth processes are provided. In one example, the present disclosure provides an example seed structure for a silicon carbide crystal growth system. The seed structure includes a carrier layer. The carrier layer is silicon carbide. The seed structure includes a seed layer bonded to the carrier layer with a bond. The seed layer is crystalline silicon carbide. The seed layer provides a growth surface for growing a crystalline silicon carbide structure in a silicon carbide crystal growth process.
