SiC films 0.2-2.0 mum thick have been characterized structurally by X-
ray diffraction techniques. The films were deposited by electron cyclo
tron resonance-chemical vapor deposition techniques. No evidence of cr
ystallinity was observed for films with thicknesses less than 1 mum; t
hese are presumed to be amorphous. Thicker films were found to have cr
ystallized predominantly in the a phase of SiC.
