Abstract

Boron carbide was prepared by low pressure chemical vapor deposition from BCl3-CH4-H2 system. Firstly, the temperature distributions of field A and B were tested. The results showed that the temperature distribution of field B is more uniform than that of field A. The effects of temperature field on deposit characteristic and deposition mechanism were investigated. The results showed that the temperature field had an important effect on the morphologies, phases, microstructure and compositions of deposits. Under the temperature field A, the morphologies were crystalline-like, the boron concentration was 87.11 at.%, and the phase of deposit was B13 C2 as confirmed by XRD and TEM. Under the temperature field B, the morphologies were cauliflower-like, the boron concentration was 75.34at.%, the phase of deposit was amorphous boron carbide as confirmed by XRD and TEM. The above differences were attributed to the different reaction mechanism during the deposition process under field A and field B. The early reactions between BCl3 and CH4 before deposition process were critical to the formation of amorphous boron carbide.
