ABSTRACTMonocrystalline, epitaxial cubic (100) SiC films have been grown on (100) Si substrates at 750°C, the lowest temperature reported to date, by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition, using methylsilane, SiCH3H3, a single precursor with a Si:C ratio of 1:1, and H2. Hexagonal SiC films were obtained with the aid of a remote H2 plasma, which also increased the deposition rate through a reduction in the activation enthalpy. The films were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy, single- and double-crystal X-ray diffraction, infra-red absorption, ellipsometry, thickness measurements, four-point probe measurements, and other methods. Based on X-ray diffractometry, the crystalline quality of our β-SiC films is equivalent to that of commercial films of similar thickness. We describe the novel growth apparatus and the properties of the films.

This paper reports the effect of deposition temperature on the deposition rate, residual stress, and resistivity of in-situ nitrogen-doped (N-doped) polycrystalline 3C-SiC (poly-SiC) films deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). N-doped poly-SiC films were deposited in a high-throughput, resistively-heated, horizontal LPCVD furnace capable of holding up to 150 mm-diameter substrates using SiH2Cl2 (100%) and C2H2 (5% in H2) precursors, with NH3 (5% in H2) as the doping gas. The deposition rate increased, while the residual stress decreased significantly as the deposition temperature increased from 825oC to 900°C. The resistivity of the films decreased significantly from 825°C to 850°C. Above 850°C, although the resistivity still decreased, the change was much smaller than at lower temperatures. XRD patterns indicated a polycrystalline (111) 3C-SiC texture for all films deposited in the temperature range studied. SIMS depth profiles indicated a constant nitrogen atom concentration of 2.6×1020/cm3 in the intentionally doped films deposited at 900°C. The nitrogen concentration of unintentionally doped films (i.e., when NH3 gas flow was zero) deposited at 900°C was on the order of 1017/cm3. The doped films deposited at 900°C exhibited a resistivity of 0.02 -cm and a tensile residual stress of 59 MPa, making them very suitable for use as a mechanical material supporting microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device development.
