SiC Epitaxial Growth on Si(100) Substrates Using Carbon Tetrabromide

Article Preview

Abstract:

3C-SiC films were grown on Si by VPE using CBr4 as the carbon source, at temperatures ranging between 1100 to 1250°C. XRD, TEM, AFM, and SEM results indicate that the epitaxy proceeds as a 3D growth of uncoalesced islands at low temperature, whereas a continuous layer with hillocks on top is obtained above 1200°C. The shape and faceting of the islands are analyzed by AFM, showing (311) preferred facets.
