Abstract

Kinetics of chemical vapor deposition of SiC from MTS/H2 was investigated by magnetic suspension balance in a wide range of processing conditions. The results show that the deposition rate exhibits three deposition behaviours depending on temperature: at lower temperatures (T<1000°C), the deposition rate increases slowly with increasing temperature. The apparent active energy is from 130 to 222kJ/mol; at mediate temperatures (from 1000 to 1100°C) , the deposition rate increases drastically and the apparent active energy is from 100 to 130kJ/mol. However, at higher temperatures (T>1300"C), it decreases quickly. The deposition rate first rises with both of pressure and flow rate and then almost keeps constant. The transformation point lies in 200sccm and from 2 to 3kPa, respectively. Residence time is seen to have a strong positive effect on the deposition rate. Longer residence time corresponding to temperature changing from 1000'C to 900°C causes a decrease by 24 times in the deposition rate.
