Cc. Liu et al., GROWTH OF SIC FILMS ON SI(100) BY ELECTRON-CYCLOTRON-RESONANCE CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION USING SIH4 CH4/H-2/, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 142(12), 1995, pp. 4279-4284
SiC films were deposited on Si(100) substrates by electron cyclotron r
esonance chemical vapor deposition at 500 degrees C using SiH4/CH4/H-2
gas mixtures. The chemical composition and crystalline microstructure
were investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cross-secti
onal transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The film composit
ion and microstructure are correlated to process variables. The deposi
tion mechanism which controls the film characteristics is presented.
