MicroRaman spectroscopy is used for characterizing defects in large SiC crystals with micrometer spatial resolution. The ability to identify microscopic inclusions of polytypes different than the crystal matrix is demonstrated; silicon and carbon inclusions and disorder effects are found in micropipes. A study of the Longitudinal Optic Phonon Plasmon Coupled (LOPC) Raman modes allowed to obtain local fluctuations of the net donor concentration, ND-NA, and the electron mobility around defects, which allowed impurity gettering effects to be observed.
