Abstract

A β-SiC epitaxial growth process, using 1,2-disilylethane (DES), was developed. DSE was selected because it contains an equal number of C and Si atoms and its reported decomposition characteristics suggest that C and Si could be obtained from it at approximately equal rates. Repeatable nucleation and epitaxial growth conditions, giving complete substrate coverage and controlled growth, were established by atmospheric pressure CVD, in an inverted-vertical reactor. A substrate temperature of 1290± 10°C was found to be optimum for β-SiC epilayer nucleation and growth. The maximum β-SiC epitaxial growth rate obtained was 10μms/hr. Undoped β-SiC epilayers were n-type (n≈1016 cm−3 ). DSE synthesis, CVD growth parameters, SiC deposition characteristics and β-SiC epitaxial film properties are described.
