A capacitivelly coupled plasma reactor was used for PECVD technology, where both silan and methane were introduced into the plasma reactor through the shower head. The concentration of species in the SiC films was determined by RBS and ERD. Chemical compositions were analyzed by IR spectroscopy. Film morphology was assessed by AFM The RBS results showed the main concentrations of Si and C in the films. The concentration of hydrogen was approximately 20 at. %. The films contain a small amount ofoxygen and nitrogen. IR results showed the presence ofSi-C, Si-O, Si-N, Si-H, N-H, C-H, C-N specific bonds. The AFMmicrographs revealed the film surface smooth and compact.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
