Popis: (111)-oriented β-SiC films were prepared by laser chemical vapor deposition using a diode laser (wavelength: 808 nm) from a single liquid precursor of hexamethyldisilane (Si(CH3)3-Si(CH3)3, HMDS) without H2. The effects of laser power (PL), total pressure (Ptot) and deposition temperature (Tdep) on the microstructure, carbon formation and deposition rate (Rdep) were investigated. β-SiC films with carbon formation and graphite films were prepared at PL ≥ 170 W and Ptot ≥ 1000 Pa, respectively. Carbon formation strongly inhibited the film growth. β-SiC films without carbon formation were obtained at Ptot = 400 to 800 Pa and PL = 130 to 170 W. The maximum Rdep was about 50 μm h−1 at PL = 170 W, Ptot = 600 Pa and Tdep = 1510 K. The investigation of growth mechanism shows that the photolytic of laser played an important role during the depositions. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
