Abstract
β-SiC epitaxial films were grown on Si(111) substrate by two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using CH3Cl as a C-source gas. Carbonized buffer layers were investigated by means of structural analyses. The buffer layers were formed with large voids underneath. This fact suggests that the Si atoms diffused out to the surface through the boundaries and defects in the buffer layer. Cl active species, which were produced by the decomposition of CH3Cl, enhanced the supply of the Si atoms in the carbonization process. Furthermore, Cl active species enhanced two-dimensional growth of SiC nuclei on Si(111).
