Using high-resolution cathodoluminescence (HR-CL) panchromatic imaging for the location of high-precision oxygen three-isotope analyses by secondary ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS), this study is aimed at characterizing the oxygen-isotope variations in Mg-rich olivines (≥Fo99) of selected type I chondrules from the Yamato (Y) -81020 CO3.05...
Investigation of Aluminum Incorporation in 4H-SiC Epitaxial Layers
Gas sensors are devices that can detect and/or discriminate gases in their surroundings. Some of these devices are based on vibrating structure covered with a coating sensitive to the species to detect. But such a layer can cause device failures issues like ageing, low reliability and high response time. Nonetheless, gas sensors are of...
Among the different silicon carbide polytypes, 3C–SiC is very interesting for Micro-Electro-MechanicalSystems (MEMS) applications. This interest could benefit from the development of multi stacked Si/SiC heterostructures as illustrated by the achievement of a continuous silicon monocrystalline thin film on 3C–SiC epilayers deposited on (1 0 0)...

The cubic polytype of silicon carbide is an interesting candidate for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) applications due to its tremendous physico-chemical properties. The recent development of multi-stacked Si/SiC heterostructures has demonstrated the possibility to obtain a (110)-oriented 3C–SiC membrane on a 3C–SiC pseudo-substrate,...

In this contribution, we performed the growth of a 3C-SiC/Si/3C-SiC layer stack on a Si(001) substrate by means of chemical vapor deposition. We show that, by tuning the growth conditions, the 3C-SiC epilayer can be grown along either the [111] direction or the [110] direction. The key parameter for the growth of the desired 3C-SiC orientation...

This paper demonstrates the ability of 3CSiC microcantilevers (μCs) to monitor binary gas mixture without sensitive coating. Here, 3CSiC is chosen in particular, as the newly designed sensor will be placed in a radioactive environment. The change in gas concentration is identified using relative shifts in the cantilever's mechanical resonance...
The recent achievement of a continuous silicon monocrystalline thin film on 3C-SiC epilayers deposited on silicon substrates has opened the field for new microstructures. In this work, this original hetero-structure is the basis for the elaboration of an entire cantilever for atomic force microscopy. The hetero-epitaxially grown silicon layer...
Influence of Growth Temperature on Site Competition Effects During Chemical Vapor Deposition of 4H-SiC Layers
International audience
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with hydrogen is an interesting technique to grow graphene on silicon carbide (SiC) with excellent electronic properties. However, unanswered questions remain concerning whether the growth mechanism is similar or different to the graphene growth by silicon (Si) sublimation from SiC. In this paper, we emphasize...
We present an epitaxy-based approach for designing a 3C-SiC Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT). The design requires to consider a 3C-SiC/Si/3C-SiC heterostructure on a Si substrate. This implies to address different growth steps of SiC on Si and Si on SiC. We present some specific growth related issued, namely the control of...
We study the influence of the growth conditions on the residual strain and related optical and structural properties in the case of 3C-SiC films grown on (001) silicon substrates. We show that two possible mechanisms compete to manage the final sample bow: one is by controlling the composition of the gaseous phase (C/Si ratio) the other one by...
Structural and morphological characterization of a Si(110) film heteroepitaxied on 3C-SiC(001)/Si(001) on-axis template by chemical vapor deposition has been performed. An antiphase domain (APD) free 3C-SiC layer was used showing a roughness limited to 1 nm. This leads to a smooth Si film with a roughness of only 3 nm for a film thickness of...
Abstract It is shown that substrate pixelisation before epitaxial growth can significantly impact the emission color of semiconductor heterostructures. The wavelength emission from In x Ga 1−x N/GaN quantum wells can be shifted from blue to yellow simply by reducing the mesa size from 90 × 90 µm 2 to 10 × 10 µm 2 of the patterned silicon used...
A detailed study of the static bending of micro-cantilevers has been performed for structures created from thin 3C-SiC films grown on (100) and (111) oriented silicon substrates. The biaxial stress distribution in the direction of the film normal has been evaluated based on analysis of the deformation profiles of clamped-free 3C-SiC beams of...
