摘要:
An excellent barrier layer (13A, 13B) can be formed by silicon carbide between a silicon substrate (11) or layer and a metal layer because silicon carbide has many properties similar to those of silicon, has a very slow diffusion rate of a metal through the silicon carbide, or prevents a diffusion of a metal into the silicon, and can be deposited by CVD which has an advantage of a good coverage over a step portion such as a contact window.
摘要:
A single crystalline silicon carbide ( beta -SiC) layer having a thickness greater than 1 mu m is grown on a silicon substrate by the following method of the present invention. The silicon substrate is provided in a reactor chamber, and the reactor chamber is evacuated and maintained at a reduced atmospheric pressure during the growing processes. While flowing a mixed gas containing acetylene into the reactor chamber, the substrate is heated up at a temperature range from 800 to 1000 DEG C, preferably in a range from 810 to 850 DEG C, whereby a buffer layer of carbonized silicon having a thickness of 60 to 100 ANGSTROM is grown on the substrate. Thereafter, the flowing gas is changed to a mixed gas containing hydrocarbon and chlorosilane, and the substrate temperature is raised to a temperature from 850 to 950 DEG C. In this process, a single crystalline beta -SiC layer can be grown on the buffer layer, and a thickness of a few mu m for the grown beta -SiC layer can be expected.

A single crystalline silicon carbide (β-SiC) layer having a thickness greater than 1 µm is grown on a silicon substrate by the following method of the present invention. The silicon substrate is provided in a reactor chamber, and the reactor chamber is evacuated and maintained at a reduced atmospheric pressure during the growing processes. While flowing a mixed gas containing acetylene into the reactor chamber, the substrate is heated up at a temperature range from 800 to 1000 °C, preferably in a range from 810 to 850 C, whereby a buffer layer of carbonized silicon having a thickness of 60 to 100 A is grown on the substrate. Thereafter, the flowing gas is changed to a mixed gas containing hydrocarbon and chlorosilane, and the substrate temperature is raised to a temperature from 850 to 950 ° C. In this process, a single crystalline β-SiC layer can be grown on the buffer layer, and a thickness of a few µm for the grown β-SiC layer can be expected.
