Abstract

Carbonization of Si surfaces using hydrocarbon gas molecular beams was investigated. In the case of carbonizing bare Si surfaces with C2H2, single-crystalline 3C-SiC layers were obtained only in the narrow range of a substrate temperature near 780°C. Among various surface treatments, the existence of a surface oxide layer and temperature rise during carbonization is proved to be effective in reproducibly obtaining single-crystalline 3C-SiC layers.
