摘要: Abstract Compositional change on the surface of PLD-derived SiC films during vacuum (10 −3  Pa) annealing was investigated by using Fourier transform-infrared absorption (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. The as-deposited film consisted only a small amount Si–C bonds, abundant in CC component. With an increase temperature from 800 to 950 °C, SiC bond increased, component decreased. were slightly oxidized residual O 2 at temperatures lower than 950 °C. When reached 1000 °C, dropped sharply, accompanied production ∼72 at.% SiSi which surprisingly high. A model oxidation based loss C atoms formation bonds adopted explain experimental results. activation energy for 22.5±2.6 kcal/mol, as calculated FT-IR data.
