Abstract

A hetero-epitaxial 3C-SiC growth process in a low-pressure hot-wall CVD reactor has been developed on planar Si (100) substrates. The growth rate achieved for this process was about 10 μm/h. The process consists of silane/propane/hydrogen chemistry with HCl used as a growth additive to increase the growth rate. 3C-SiC has also been grown on 22, 52 and 123 +m deep etched MEMS structures formed by DRIE of (100) Si at a rate of about 8 +m/h. Secondary electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the quality of the 3C-SiC films.
