Abstract
The elemental distribution in BeO-doped pressureless sintered SiC cera mics, with high thermal conductivity (270 W/m . K) and high electrical resistivity (4 x 10(11) Omega . m) was investigated by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SLMS). Intense image of oxygen was observed at the grain boundaries and weak image of Be was detected very close to the p ositions of oxygen. The intensity contrast of these two elements do no t always coincide at all positions. These results suggest that the add itive BeO exists at grain boundaries as BeO and/or nonstoichiometric B e oxide.
