Abstract

Silicon carbide films were chemically vapor deposited onto graphite substrates using MTS(Ch3SiCl3) as a source and Ar or H2 as a diluent gas. The experiments were performed at a fixed condition such as a de-position temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$, a total pressure of 10 torr, and a flow rate of 100 sccm for each MTS and carrier gas. The purpose of this study is to consider the variation of the growth behavior with the addition of each diluent gas. It is shown that the deposition rate leads to maximum value at 200 sccm addition ir-respective of diluent gases and the deposition rate of Ar addition is faster than that of H2 one. It seems that these characteristics of deposition rate are due to varying interrelationship between boundary layer thick-ness and the concentration of a source with each diluent gas addition, when overall deposition rate is con-trolled by mass transport kinetics. The preferred orientation of (220) plane was maintained for the whole range of Ar addition. However, above 200 sccm addition, especially that of (111) plane was more increased in proportion to H2 addition. Surface morphologies of SiC films were the facet structures under Ar addition, but those were gradually changed from facet to smooth structures with H2 addition. Surface roughness be-came higher in Ar, but it became lower in H2 with increasing the amount of diluent gas.

희석기체로써 Ar 및 H2를 사용하여 MTS(CH3SiCl3)를 원료물질로 한 탄화규소막을 흑연 기판 위에 화학증착시켰다. 본 연구는 증착온도 130$0^{\circ}C$, 총압력은 10 torr 및 MTS와 원료 운반기체의 총유량은 100 sccm으로 일정하게한 상태에서, 각 희석기체의 첨가에 따른 성장거동의 변화를 고찰하고자 하였다. 증착속도는 희석기체와 상관없이 첨가량이 200sccm일 때 최대값을 갖는 모양을 보였으나, Ar을 첨가할 때가 H2에 비해 더 빠른 증착속도를 나타냈다. 이러한 증착속도 특성은 전체 증착속도가 물질전달 율속단계에 있을 때, 각 희석기체의 첨가에 따라 변화되는 경막 두께(boundary layer thickness) 및 원료물질 농도의 상관관계에 기인한다고 여겨졌다. 우선배향성은 Ar의 경우 모든 첨가량의 범위에서 (220)면으로 우선배향되었으나, H2의 경우에는 200sccm이상에서 첨가량에 비례하여 (111)면으로 우선배향되는 경향을 보였다. 표면미세구조는 Ar을 첨가한 경우에 일정하게 facet구조를 유지하였으나, H2의 경우에는 facet에서 평탄한(smooth)구조로 변화되었다. 표면조도의 경우 첨가량이 늘어남에 따라 지속적으로 Ar에서는 증가하였지만, H2에서는 감소하였다.
