摘要：
Polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin films are deposited via low pressure chemical vapor deposition from the precursors 1,3-disilabutane (DSB) and dichlorosilane (DCS). Elemental composition, microstructure, surface morphology, and residual stress are characterized as functions of DCS flow rate fraction. Elemental composition varies linearly with DCS fraction, while microstructure changes drastically with slight changes in DCS fraction. Residual stress varies from 1.2 GPa tensile to 240 MPa tensile, and the causes of which are traced to variations in elemental composition and grain size. A model of residual stress accounting for the effects of elemental composition and grain size on intrinsic stress is developed and found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental data.
