Abstract

The transformation of SiC etching shapes by high-temperature annealing has been investigated. Without silicon atoms on the surface, transformation of the etching shapes hardly occurred even after annealing in pure Ar at 1700 °C, where transformation should occur without the loss of silicon atoms. When SiH4 was added to Ar, the surface tended to revert to SiC, and the transformation was enhanced with increasing SiH4 addition. Therefore, the presence of silicon atoms is necessary to transform the etching shapes on SiC surfaces.
