Abstract

This paper describes the Raman scattering characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC films, which were deposited on the thermally oxidized Si(100) substrate by the atmosphere pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method according to growth temperature. TO and LO phonon modes to 2.0m thick poly 3C-SiC deposited at $1180^{\circ}C$ were measured at 794.4 and $965.7\;cm^{-1}$ respectively. From the intensity ratio of $I_{(LO)}/I_{(TO)}$ 1.0 and the broad full width half maximum (FWHM) of TO modes, itcan be elucidated that the crystallinity of 3C-SiC forms polycrystal instead of disordered crystal and the crystal defect is small. At the interface between 3C-SiC and $SiO_2$, $1122.6\;cm^{-1}$ related to C-O bonding was measured. Here poly 3C-SiC admixes with nanoparticle graphite with the Raman shifts of D and G bands of C-C bonding 1355.8 and $1596.8\;cm^{-1}$. Using TO mode of 2.0 m thick poly 3C-SiC, the biaxial stress was calculated as 428 MPa.
