Abstract

With the method of phenomenology, a supersaturation-condensation-fusion (SCF) mechanism is proposed to describe the growth of chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide under normal atmosphere. The structure has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Morphology characterization of deposited crystallites and silicon carbide aggregates have been explained in terms of SCF mechanism. Auger spectra analysis revealed that there were Si, C, S, Cl, and O on the surface of the deposit.
