  • This paper describes the electrical properties of poly (polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films with different nitrogen doping concentrations. In-situ doped poly 3C-SiC thin films were deposited by APCVD at $1200^{\circ}C$ using HMDS (hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$) as Si and C precursor, and $0{\sim}100$ sccm $N_2$ as the dopant source gas. The peak of SiC is appeared in poly 3C-SiC thin films grown on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates in XRD(X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analyses. The resistivity of poly 3C-SiC thin films decreased from $8.35{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with $N_2$ of 0 sccm to $0.014{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with 100 sccm. The carrier concentration of poly 3C-SiC films increased with doping from $3.0819{\times}10^{17}$ to $2.2994{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ and their electronic mobilities increased from 2.433 to $29.299cm^2/V{\cdot}S$, respectively.

  • Surface micromachined SiC devices have readily been fabricated from the polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC thin film which has an advantage of being deposited onto $SiO_2$ or $Si_3N_4$ as a sacrificial layer. Therefore, in this work, magnetron reactive ion etching process which can stably etch poly 3C-SiC thin films grown on $SiO_2$/Si substrate at a lower energy (70 W) with $CHF_3$ based gas mixtures has been studied. We have investigated the etching properties of the poly 3C-SiC thin film using PR/Al mask, according to $O_2$ flow rate, pressure, RF power, and electrode gap. The etched RMS (root mean square), etch rate, and etch profile of the poly 3C-SiC thin films were analyzed by SEM, AFM, and $\alpha$-step.

  • The physical and electrical properties of polycrystalline $\beta$-SiC were studied according to different nitrogen doping concentration. Nitrogen-doped SiC films were deposited by LPCVD(1ow pressure chemical vapor deposition) at $900^{\circ}C$ and 2 torr using $100\%\;H_2SiCl_2$ (35 sccm) and $5 \%\;C_2H_2$ in $H_2$(180 sccm) as the Si and C precursors, and $1\%\;NH_3$ in $H_2$(20-100 sccm) as the dopant source gas. The resistivity of SiC films decreased from $1.466{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with $NH_3$ of 20 sccm to $0.0358{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with 100 sccm. The surface roughness and crystalline structure of $\beta$-SiC did not depend upon the dopant concentration. The average surface roughness for each sample 19-21 nm and the average surface grain size is 165 nm. The peaks of SiC(111), SiC(220), SiC(311) and SiC(222) appeared in polycrystalline $\beta$-SiC films deposited on $Si/SiO_2$ substrate in XRD(X-ray diffraction) analysis. Resistance of nitrogen-doped SiC films decreased with increasing temperature. The variation of resistance ratio is much bigger in low doping, but the linearity of temperature dependent resistance variation is better in high doping. In case of SiC films deposited with 20 sccm and 100 sccm of $1\%\;NH_3$, the average of TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) is -3456.1 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and -1171.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

  • This paper describes the ohmic contact formation between a TiW film as a contact material deposied by RF magnetron sputter and polycrystalline 3C-SiC films deposied on thermally grown Si wafers. The specific contact resistance (${\rho}_c$) of the TiW contact was measured by using 4he C-TLM. The contact phase and interfacial reaction between TiW and 3C-SiC at high-temperature were also analyzed by XRD and SEM. All of the samples didn't show cracks of the TiW film and any interfacial reaction after annealing. Especially, when the sample was annealed at $800^{\circ}$ for 30min., the lowest contact resistivity of $2.90{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ of was obtained due to the improved interfacial adhesion.

  • Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films were deposited on Si substrates by using polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layers, in which the AlN film was grown by pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering. Characteristics of grown AlN films were investigated experimentally by means of FE-SEM, X-ray diffraction, and FT-IR, respectively. The columnar structure of AlN thin films was observed by FE-SEM. X-ray diffraction pattern proved that the grown AlN film on 3C-SiC layers had highly (002) orientation with low value of FWHM (${\Theta}=1.3^{\circ}$) in the rocking curve around (002) reflections. These results were shown that almost free residual stress existed in the grown AlN film on 3C-SiC buffer layers from the infrared absorbance spectrum. Therefore, the presented results showed that AlN thin films grown on 3C-SiC buffer layers can be used for various piezoelectric fields and M/NEMS applications.

  • This paper describes the Raman scattering characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC thin films, in which they were deposited on the oxidized Si substrate by APCVD method according to growth temperature. Since the phonon modes were not measured for $0.4{\mu}m$ thick 3C-SiC, $2.0{\mu}m$ thick 3C-SiC deposited on the oxidized Si at $1180^{\circ}C$, in which TO (transverse optical mode) and LO (longitudinal optical mode) phonon modes were appeared at 794.4 and $965.7cm^{-1}$, respectively. The broad FWHM (full width half maximum) can explain that the crystallinity of 3C-SiC deposited at $1180^{\circ}C$ becomes polycrystalline instead of disorder crystal. Additionally, the ratio of intensity $I_{LO}/I_{TO}{\approx}1.0$ of 3C-SiC indicates that the crystal disorder of $3C-SiC/SiO_2/Si$ is small. Compared poly $3C-SiC/SiO_2$ with $SiO_2/Si$ interfaces, $1122.6cm^{-1}$ phonon mode was measured which may belong to C-O bonding and two phonon modes, 1355.8 and $1596.8cm^{-1}$ related to D and G bands of C-C bonding in the Raman range of 200 to $2000cm^{-1}$.

  • On the purpose of increasing resonant frequency without sacrificing quality factor as well as much decreasing dimensions, corrugated micro beam resonator based on polycrystalline 3C-SiC films is the applicable solution. In this work, appropriate corrugated structure is suggested to increase resonant frequency of resonators. Micro beam resonators based on 3C-SiC films which have a two-side corrugation along the length of beams were simulated by finite element method and compared to a same-size flat rectangular. With the dimension of 36x12x0.5 ${\mu}m^{3}$, the flat cantilever has resonant frequency of 746 kHz. Meanwhile, with this size but corrugation width of 6 ${\mu}m$ and depth of 0.4 ${\mu}m$, the corrugated cantilever reaches the resonant frequency at 1.252 MHz.

  • This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly(polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin film with various doping concentration, in which poly 3C-SiC thin film's mechanical properties according to the n-doping concentration 1%$(9.2\times10^{15}cm^{-3})$, 3%$(5.2\times10^{17}cm^{-3})$, and 5%$(6.8\times10^{17}cm^{-3})$ respectively was measured by nano indentation. In the case of $9.2\times10^{15}^{-3}$ n-doping concentration, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 270 GPa and 30 GPa, respectively. When the surface roughness according to n-doping concentrations was investigated by AFM(atomic force microscope), the roughness of poly 3C-SiC thin film doped by 5% concentration was 15 nm, which is also the best of them.

  • The microhotplates consisting of a Pt-ased heating element on AlN/poly 3C-SiC layers were fabricated. The microhotplate has a $600{\mu}m{\times}600{\mu}m$ square shaped membrane which made of $1{\mu}m$ thick ploycrystalline 3C-SiC suspended by four legs. 3C-SiC is known for excellent chemical durability, mechanical strength and sustaining of high temperature. The membrane is fabricated by surface micromachining using oxidized Si sacrificial layer. The Pt thin film is used for heating material and resist temperature sensor. The fabrication methodology allows intergration of an array of heating material and resist temperature detector. For reasons of a short response time and a high sensitivity a uniform temperature profile is desired. The dissipation of microhotplate was examined by a IR thermoviewer and the power consumption was measured. Measured and simulated results are compared and analyzed. Thermal characterization of the microhotplates shows that significant reduction in power consumption was achieved using suspended structure.

  • In this study, AlN thin films were deposited on a polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC buffer layer for surface acoustic wave (SAW) applications using a pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering system. AFM, XRD and FT-IR were used to analyze structural properties and preferred orientation of the AlN/3C-SiC thin film. Suitability of the film in SAW applications was investigated by comparing the SAW characteristics of an interdigital transducer (IDT)/AlN/3C-SiC structure with the IDT/AIN/Si structure at 160 MHz in the temperature range $30-150^{\circ}C$. These experimental results showed that AlN films on the poly 3C-SiC layer were highly (002) oriented. Furthermore, the film showed improved temperature stability for the SAW device, $TCF\;=\;-18\;ppm//^{\circ}C$. The change in resonance frequency according to temperature was nearly linear. The insertion loss decrease was about $0.033dB/^{\circ}C$. However, some defects existed in the film, which caused a slight reduction in SAW velocity.
