FTIR Spectroscopy Characterization of Si-C bonding in SiC Thin Film prepared at Room Temperature by Conventional 13.56MHz RF PECVD

Abstract

SiC thin film has been synthesized by using conventional 13.56MHz radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The mixture of silane (SiH4) and methane (CH4) were used as precursor gases while hydrogen as carrier gas. The SiH4/CH4 ratio and the substrate temperature have been varied in order to examine the reaction of the active species which can produce the Si-C bonding in the deposited film. FTIR spectroscopy was used to analyse the type of bonding and particularly to confirm the existence of Si-C bonding by comparing the spectrums obtained from deposited thin film samples and standard reference sample of bulk SiC single crystal wafer. The existence of Si-C bonding was confirmed and it was slightly shifted from the bulk SiC wafer at around 722cm-1 and 817cm-1.

One-step synthesis of fluorescent silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) and their application for cell imaging

“…37 Si-Si bonding corresponds to the absorbance around 520 cm À1 . 38 Despite the fact that residual byproducts of the reactions may interfere with the FTIR results, the existence of diverse surface terminations was evidenced.…”

Synthesis of cellulose acetate from rice husk cellulose by ultrasound-assisted acetylation

“…The peak of 3336.8 cm -1 and 2892.4 cm -1 show the stretchings of H-bonded -OH groups and methyl and methylene units. Rice husk has a high content of silica, but the wavenumber of 722 cm -1 and 817 cm -1 (Si-C bond) are not found, the cellulose obtained had no content of silica (Omar et al 2012)…”

The concept of a maintenance-free drive-thru inspection station for commercial vehicles

“…poisoning effect possible, is subject to irreversible wear, measurement susceptible to the influence of other gases, sensitive to moisture Catalytic (pellistor) low cost, detects the presence of flammable gases possible poisoning effect, sensitive to gas groups, errors under the influence of other flammable gases, zero error (ppm) Among the methods used in industry, there are also thermally conductive sensors (TDC), electrochemical sensors and sensors based on the phenomenon of surface acoustic wave (SAW). Optical measurement methods themselves, usually based on emission or absorption spectroscopy, constitute a numerous group of solutions [7]. The above-mentioned methods of remote measurement of the concentration of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and smoke in exhaust gases were initially analyzed in laboratory conditions in the Department of Automotive Vehicles at the Cracow University of Technology.…”
