K. Yasui et al., STRUCTURE OF MICROCRYSTALLINE SILICON-CARBIDE FILMS PREPARED BY HYDROGEN-RADICAL-ENHANCED CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION IN MAGNETIC-FIELD, JPN J A P 1, 33(7B), 1994, pp. 4395-4399
Microcrystalline silicon carbide films were grown by hydrogen-radical-
enhanced chemical vapor deposition in magnetic field. Tetramethylsilan
e was used as source material. Hydrogen radicals were generated by mic
rowave plasma in magnetic field. Microcrystalline films grew on the Si
substrate by supplying hydrogen radicals at temperatures higher than
250 degrees C. The structure and the crystallinity of SiC films were i
nvestigated by cross-section transmission electron microscopy, electro
n probe microanalysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
