Micromechanical properties of silicon-carbide thin films deposited using single-source chemical-vapor deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
1,3-Disilabutane is used as a single-source precursor to deposit conformal silicon-carbide films on silicon atomic-force-microscopy cantilevers. By measuring the resonance frequency of the cantilever as a function of silicon-carbide film thickness and developing an appropriate model, the value of the film’s elastic modulus is determined. This value is in good agreement with those reported for silicon-carbide films deposited using conventional dual-source chemical-vapor deposition. Additionally, we comment on the feasibility of integrating this process into the fabrication technology for microelectromechanical systems. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1383277#

متن کاملThe effect of substrate temperature on the properties of nanostructured silicon carbide films deposited by hypersonic plasma particle deposition
Nanostructured silicon carbide films have been deposited on molybdenum substrates by hypersonic plasma particle deposition. In this process a thermal plasma with injected reactants (SiCl4 and CH4) is expanded through a nozzle leading to the nucleation of ultrafine particles. Particles entrained in the supersonic flow are then inertially deposited in vacuum onto a temperature-controlled substrat...
