The crystal structure of a buffer film and β‐SiC epitaxial layers grown on silicon substrates with (111) and (100) orientations according to the substrate temperature and film thickness are studied by electron diffraction and electron microscopy. It is shown that for the growth of β‐SiC single crystal layers on silicon it is necessary to limit the thickness of the primarily deposited buffer film (<40nm), to cool the substrate with the buffer film to room temperature, and to carry the process of β‐SiC layer growth (in our case by CH3SiCl3 thermal decomposition in H2) at higher temperatures (≧ 1380°C).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
