The Si-C Phase Diagram

  • Chapter
Si Silicon

Abstract

The two most recently published [1 to 3] phase diagrams for the Si-C system show somewhat deviating results. They were combined by [4], giving the diagram shown in Fig. 1. The only condensed phases that occur in this phase diagram are silicon, silicon carbide (SiC), and graphite [4]. See also [5, 6]. In addition, however, decomposition of a gaseous mixture of SiCl4, CH4, and Ar at 1900 K has been found to give in up to 24% yield an Si-containing phase corresponding to nearly perfect graphite, with a maximum content of 0.14% Si, along with pyrocarbon [7].
