Abstract

Detailed analysis on the planar defects in rotated 3C-SiC(111) films grown on Si(110) substrates have been conducted by using X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. While the film mostly consists of a rotated region, a portion was found in its nonrotated (3C-SiC(110)) configuration, forming domain boundaries in between. Inplane twins were also found to exist within both the rotated and nonrotated regions. Their origins and their impacts on the epitaxial graphene formation on the 3C-SiC film are discussed.
