چکیده

Silicon Carbide as an inorganic material possesses properties like high thermochemical stability, high hardness and fracture toughness, low thermal expansion coefficient etc. It is therefore, widely used in the making of refractory, semiconductor devices, combustion engines, etc. Being a nonoxide, it has a tendency to get oxidized at elevated temperature under oxidizing atmosphere. Oxidation of silicon carbide can be either active or passive. Active oxidation reduces the strength of the samples whereas passive oxidation leads to the formation of coherent silica layer over silicon carbide surface, thereby improving its performances in several applications. Being an interesting area of research, numerous works have been reported on the oxidation behaviour of silicon carbide. In this paper a comprehensive review has been made on different works related with the oxidation behaviour of silicon carbide.

Anisotropic interpolation method of silicon carbide oxidation growth rates for three-dimensional simulation

We investigate anisotropical and geometrical aspects of hexagonal structures of Silicon Carbide and propose a direction dependent interpolation method for oxidation growth rates. We compute threedimensional oxidation rates and perform one-, two-, and three-dimensional simulations for 4Hand 6H-Silicon Carbide thermal oxidation. The rates of oxidation are computed according to the four known grow...

Infrared Reflection Spectroscopy and Effective Medium Modeling of As-Anodized and Oxidized Porous Silicon Carbide

We present a study of the infrared reflectance of porous silicon carbide (PSC) formed by the electrochemical dissolution of silicon carbide substrates of both 6H and 4H polytypes. The reflectance from n-PSC, both as-anodized and passivated, is reported for the first time. The passivation of PSC has been accomplished using a short thermal oxidation. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) reflectance ...
