Mechanical Properties of Cubic SiC, GaN and AlN Thin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cubic polytypes of SiC, GaN and AlN were grown on silicon by molecular beam epitaxy. The mechanical properties of the epitaxial layers were investigated by nanoindentation. For 3C-SiC grown on Si(111) and Si(100) a dependence of the mechanical properties on the surface preparation with germanium prior to the carbonization was obtained.
