Structural and Optical Properties of SiC/Si Heterostructures Obtained Using Rapid Vacuum-Thermal Carbidization of Silicon

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation revealed that rapid vacuum-thermal carbidization of silicon at 1100°C leads to formation of cubic silicon carbide (SiC) layers. A band in the IR transmission spectrum at 798 cm–1 corresponding to the Si–C stretching vibration and a maximum in the Raman spectrum at 793 cm–1 relating to the transverse optical phonon mode of SiC confirm the formation of a layer of the cubic SiC polytype. The absorption band of Si–O–Si (1100 cm–1) was found using IR spectroscopy. The dependence of the transmission coefficient on wavenumber was determined.
