A complex chemical equilibrium analysis was performed to study the hot-wall CVD process of the SiC/C functionally gradient materials (FGM). Thermochemical calculations of the Si-C-H-Cl system were carried out, and the effects of process variables(deposition temperature, reactor pressure, C/[Si+C] and H/[Si+C] ratios in the source gas) on the composition of deposited layers and the deposition yield were investigated. The CVD phase diagrams of the SiC/C FGM deposition were obtained, and the optimum process windows were estimated from the results.
