Book Description
Beta silicon carbide has the potential of becoming an important semiconductor device material for hazardous military environments such as high temperature and radiation. This report is concerned with a study of the growth of thin single crystal films of beta silicon carbide through molten metal intermediates. Thin films of nickel, cobalt, chromium and iron were deposited by vacuum deposition on to the (0001) faces of single crystals of alpha silicon carbide. Then heteroepitaxial layers of beta silicon carbide were deposited through the molten metal films by the hydrogen reduction of methyltrichlorosilane. The deposited films were studied by electron microscopy, electron diffraction and electron beam microprobe analysis to determine the growth mechanism and to arrive at optimum conditions for heteroepitaxial growth. From the results obtained it was concluded that nickel and cobalt were equally effective in promoting epitaxial growth. Films of nickel only 20A in thickness were as effective as those up to 300A. Results with chromium and iron were disappointing for different reasons. Chromium did not etch the substrate surface uniformly because of poor wetting. With iron, whisker growth of beta silicon carbide occurred at the surface. Although in many respects the growth of mechanism resembled that of the vapor-liquid-solid method, certain differences were observed which make the actual growth mechanism using nickel and cobalt films still uncertain.

Silicon Carbide — 1968
Author: H. K. Henisch
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483152618
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Silicon Carbide — 1968 presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Silicon Carbide held in University Park, Pennsylvania on October 20-23, 1968. The book covers papers about the perspectives on silicon carbide; several problems in the development of silicon carbide semiconductors, such as the control of crystal structure and analysis. The thermal properties of beta-silicon carbide from 20 to 2000 degrees and the influence of impurities on the growth of silicon carbide crystals in chemical reactions and by recrystallization are also discussed. The book then presents papers about silicon carbide single crystal growth using the Norton process; the principles of solution and traveling solvent growth of silicon carbide; the growth of silicon carbide from cobalt-silicon solutions; and the growth of silicon carbide from vapor by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method. Papers about the growth of crystals and epitaxial layers of beta silicon carbide; the heteroepitaxy of beta-silicon carbide employing liquid metals; some aspects of disorder in silicon carbide; and the dependence of physical properties on polytype structure are also considered. The book describes topics about the optical properties of polytypes of silicon carbide as well as the phase stability of silicon carbide against nitrogen. Other papers about the physical and electronic properties of silicon carbide are also discussed in the book. People involved in semiconductor industries will find the book helpful.

The Influence of Annealing on Thin Films of Beta SiC
Author: Irvin Berman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Annealing of crystals
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Thin films of beta silicon carbide were prepared on alpha silicon carbide substrates by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique involving the hydrogen reduction of silane and propane. The films were prepared under a variety of conditions and subsequently subjected to thermal annealing cycles between 1600 degrees C and 2000 degrees C. It is shown that the single crystallinity of the beta films improved with continued annealing. The beta polytype was found to be stable over the entire range of temperatures studied.
