Popis: | Buffer layers of SiC for heteroepitaxy of SiC were grown on Si(100) substrates by pyrolysis of C 3 H 8 diluted in H 2 as carrier gas, at atmospheric pressure. The composition profile and the interphase morphology have been studied by AES, TEM (XTEM, HREM) and ellipsometric spectroscopy. The buffer layer grown at 1200°C presents a steep composition gradient and allows the growth of a high-quality epitaxial film. The buffer layer grown at 1340°C reveals a more spread and irregular profile, with the formation of SiC inclusions in the Si substrate. It leads to an epitaxial film of poorer crystalline quality. |
