Abstract
Silicon carbide deposition in an inductively coupled RF plasma reactor using tetramethysilane(TMS)/argon mixtures was carried out on steel substrates in a restricted range of experimental parameters. A kinetic approach in the pressure range of 0.7-2.4 kPa is made to correlate the deposition rate of silicon carbide with plasma parameters. A "global" or "effective" concept has been emphasized. The main contribution of TMS dissociation in the present pressure range is assumed to the excited Ar(ion and metastable atom)-TMS molecule reactions rather than the primary electron-TMS reactions. A simple analytical expression for deposition rate is deduced which provides a good fit with experiments.
