Abstract

Equilibrium calculations are reported for conditions typical of silicon carbide (SiC) deposition from mixtures of silane and hydrocarbons. Included are 34 molecules containing both silicon and carbon, allowing an assessment to be made of the importance of organosilicon species (and organosilicon radicals in particular) to the deposition process. The results are used to suggest strategies for improved operation of SiC CVD processes.
