Mechanical Properties and Residual Stress of Thin 3C-SiC(111) Films Determined Using MEMS Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

3C-SiC(111) was grown on Si (111) in a thickness range between 20 and 600 nm by low pressure chemical vapour deposition. The mechanical properties and the residual stress were determined using cantilevers and beams. The Youngs modulus of the 3C-SiC(111) decreases with decreasing thickness of the epitaxial layer.
