Single crystal 3C-SiC (cubic silicon carbide) thin-films were deposited on Si(100) wafer up to the thickness of 4.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using HMDS (hexamethyildisilane; ｛CH$_{3}$｝$_{6}$ Si$_{2}$) at 135$0^{\circ}C$. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important to get a mirror-like crystal surface. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC film was 4.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/hr. The 3C-SiC epitaxial film grown on Si(100) wafer was characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), AFM (atomic force microscopy), RHEED (reflection high energy electron diffraction), XPS (X-ray photoelecron spectroscopy), and Raman scattering, respectively. Two distinct phonon modes of TO (transverse optical) near 796 $cm^{-1}$ / and LO (longitudinal optical) near 974$\pm$1 $cm^{-1}$ / of 3C-SiC were observed by Raman scattering measurement. The heteroepitaxially grown film was identified as the single crystal 3C-SiC phase by XRD spectra (2$\theta$=41.5。).).

개선된 열탄소환원법으로 합성된 금속불순물함량 1 ppm 이하의 고순도 SiC 미립 분말을 이용하여 2,100℃ 이상고온의 RF 가열 PVT 장치에서 SiC 단결정을 성장시켰으며, In-situ x-ray 이미지 분석을 통해 성장과정 중 분말의 승화거동 및 단결정 성장거동을 관찰하였다. SiC 분말은 단결정 성장의 공급원으로 온도가 높은 외곽 부분부터 소진되고 graphite 잔여물이 남았다. 성장 중 원료의 흐름은 가운데 부분으로 집중되었으며 SiC 단결정의 성장거동에도 영향을 미쳤는데, 이는 미립분말로 인한 도가니 내부 온도분포 차이가 원인으로 예상되었다. 단결정 성장이 완료된 후, 단결정 잉곳을 1 mm 두께의 단결정 기판으로 절단하고 또한, 잉곳에서 얻어진 단결정 기판은 전반적으로 짙은 황색의 4H -SiC가 관찰되었으며, 외곽에 일부 발생한 다결정은 시드결정을 시드홀더에 부착하는 과정에서 혼입된 기포층과 같은 불순물 혼입이 원인으로 사료된다.

Silicon carbide(SiC) epilayers were grown by a thermal CVD(chemical vapor deposition) process, and their crystalline properties were investigated. Especially, the growth conditions of 6H-Sic homoepitaxial layers were obtained using a SiC-uncoated graphite susceptor that utilized Mo-plates. In order to investigate the crystallinity of grown layers, Nomarski photograph, transmittance, XRD, Raman, PL and TEM measurements were used. The best quality of 6H-SiC epilayers was obtained in conditions of growth temperature 1500$^{\circ}C$ and C/Si ratio 2.0.

Monolayers of graphite can be grown by fine controlled surface graphitization on the surfaces of various metallic and semiconducting materials. Epitaxial graphene grown on polished silicon carbide crystal surfaces has drawn much attention due to well known vacuum annealing procedures from surface analysis methods, especially scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy(STS). In this study, we have grown single layer and few layer graphene on silicon terminated 6H-SiC(0001) crystals. The growth of graphene layers were observed by low energy electron diffraction(LEED) patterns. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements were performed to illustrate the electronic structure which may display some clue on the influence of the underlying structure. Spatially resolved STS results acquired at the edges of epitaxial graphene show in detail the electron density of states, which is compared to theoretical calculations. STM measurements were also done on graphene films grown by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) and transferred onto a SiC(0001) crystal. These observations may provide a hint for the understanding of carrier scattering at the edges.

Following Silicon Carbide, single crystal diamond continues to attract attention as a next-generation semiconductor substrate material. In addition to excellent physical properties, large area and productivity are very important for semiconductor substrate materials. Research on the increase in area and productivity of single crystal diamonds has been carried out using various devices such as HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) and MPECVD (Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). We hit the limits of growth rate and internal defects. However, HFCVD (Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition) can be replaced due to the previous problem. In this study, HFCVD confirmed the distance between the substrate and the filament, the accompanying growth rate, the surface shape, and the Raman shift of the substrate after vapor deposition according to the vapor deposition temperature change. As a result, it was confirmed that the difference in the growth rate of the single crystal substrate due to the change in the vapor deposition temperature was gained up to 5 times, and that as the vapor deposition temperature increased, a large amount of polycrystalline diamond tended to be generated on the surface.

Silicon carbide(SiC)는 뛰어난 전기적, 열적, 물리적 특성 때문에 내환경 전자소자용 반도체 재료로 널리 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착법으로 단결정 6H-SiC 동종박막을 성장시키고 이의 성장 특성을 조사하였다. 특히, 몰리브덴 (Mo)-plate를 이용하여 SiC를 코팅하지 않은 graphite susceptor를 사용한 6H-SiC 동종박막 성장조건을 성공적으로 얻었다. 대기압 상태의 RF-유도가열식 챔버에서 CVD성장을 수행하였고, <1120> 방향으로 $3.5^{\circ}$off-axis된 기판을 사용하였다. 성장 박막의 결정성을 평가하기 위하여 Nomarski 관찰, 투과율 측정 , 라만 분광, XRD, 광발광(PL) 분광, 투과전자현미경(TEM) 측 정 등의 방법을 이용하였다. 이상과 같은 실험을 통하여, 본 연구에서는 성장온도 $1500^{\circ}C$, C/Si flow ratio ($C_3H_8$ 0.2 sccm, $SiH_4$ 0.3 sccm)인 성장조건에서 결정성이 가장 좋은 6H-SiC 동종박막을 얻을 수 있었다.

Single crystal cubic silicon carbide(3C-SiC) thin film were deposited on Si(100) substrate up to a thickness of $4.3{\mu}m$ by APCVD(atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using hexamethyildisilane(HMDS) at $1350^{\circ}C$. The HMDS flow rate was 0.5 sccm and the carrier gas flow rate was 2.5 slm. The HMDS flow rate was important to get a mirror-like. The growth rate of the 3C-SiC films was $4.3{\mu}m/hr$. The 3C-SiC epitaxical layers on Si(100) were characterized by XRD(X-ray diffraction), raman scattering and RHEED(reflection high-energy electron diffraction), respectively. The 3C-SiC distinct phonons of TO(transverse optical) near $796cm^{-1}$ and LO(longitudinal optical) near $974{\pm}1cm^{-1}$ were recorded by raman scattering measurement. The deposition films were identified as the single crystal 3C-SiC phase by XRD spectra($2{\theta}=41.5^{\circ}$). Also, with increase of films thickness, RHEED patterns gradually changed from a spot pattern to a streak pattern.

This paper describes that single crystalline 3C-SiC (cubic silicon carbide) thin films have been deposited on carbonized Si(100) substrates using hexamethyldisilane (HMDS, $Si_2(CH_3){_6}$) as a safe organosilane single precursor and a nonflammable mixture of Ar and $H_2$ gas as the carrier gas by APCVD at $1280^{\circ}C$. The deposition was performed under various conditions to determine the optimized growth condition. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film was analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction). The surface morphology was also observed by AFM (atomic force microscopy) and voids between SiC and Si interfaces were measured by SEM (scanning electron microscopy). Finally, residual strain and hall mobility was investigated by surface profiler and hall measurement, respectively. From these results, the single crystalline 3C-SiC film had a good crystal quality without defects due to viods, a low residual stress, a very low roughness.
