Abstract

This work deals with the selective heteroepitaxial growth of silicon carbide on (100) diamond substrates using the Vapour-Liquid-Solid (VLS) transport. The morphology, the structure and doping were determined using various characterization techniques. In order to achieve succesful heteroepitaxy, the diamond surface was silicided by solid-state reaction between a silicon layer and the substrate at 1350 °C. This allowed forming a SiC buffer layer on which p-doped 3C-SiC(100) islands elongated in the <110> directions were obtained after VLS growth. The influence of the experimental parameters on the epitaxial growth is discussed.
