Abstract
We evaluate the influence of the growth parameters on the crystal quality of Si films grown by chemical vapor deposition on 3C-SiC(001)/Si (001) epilayers. It is shown that the pressure plays a major role on the final quality of the films, with two distinct growth regimes. The defects in the films were found to be antiphase boundaries and μ-twins. The influence of the growth parameters as well as the 3CSiC structural properties on these defects are discussed. The impact of a subsequent thermal annealing, under different gas environments, is also investigated and reveals some noticeable differences according to the gas environment used in the annealing process.
