Inclined epitaxy of (411) beta silicon carbide on (511) silicon by chemical vapor deposition

Abstract
Epitaxial growth of β-SiC on Si(511) substrates has been carried out. Single-crystalline β-SiC films without warpage and cracking are grown by chemical vapor deposition. The epitaxial orientation of the film is determined using x-ray precession camera. The orientation is inclined as SiC(411)//Si(511) coincident with the [011̄] axis, which should be compared with the parallel epitaxial growth on Si(100) or Si(111).
