Abstract

Cubic SiC (3C-SiC) film has been deposited on Si (1 1 0) substrate by the low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) with gas sources of SiH4, C3H8 and carrier gas of H2. The 3C-SiC crystalline film can be confirmed through the observations using reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) images. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and the rocking curve indicate that the (1 1 1) plane of SiC film is parallel to the surface of the Si (1 1 0) substrate and the film is of high crystallinity. The results of the field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images show that the film has smooth surface morphology. Transmitted electron diffraction (TED) pattern and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) image further confirm the high quality of the film.
