Structural Investigations of a Sputtered Intermediate Carbonization Layer for 3C-SiC on (111) and (110) Si Substrates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thin SiC buffer layers have been grown by sputtering a graphite C target onto both (111) and (110) Si substrates. Converting the graphitic C into SiC is highly temperature dependent and relies on free silicon atoms that sublime from voids in the substrate at higher temperatures. Morphological and structural investigations were performed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD).
