摘要: The solid state reactions between Pd films deposited by resistive evaporation on 6H-SiC substrates have been investigated Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and glancing-incidence xray diffraction (GIXRD). were subsequently annealed from 200 to 800°C in vacuum. At room temperature, no silicides detected formed at the Pd/SiC interface. as-deposited a flat chemically inert interface with SiC. After annealing 400°C, reaction zone was 6H-SiC. initial phase form Pd-SiC samples Pd4Si Pd3Si. 600°C, contact structure consists of unreacted Pd, Pd3Si carbon. During 700°C 800 °C, film had completely reacted SiC resulting consisting Pd2Si C graphite state. analysis vacuum 700 °C showed clear D G carbon peaks which evidence formation surface samples.
