✦ Synopsis
The potential for enhancement of Si-based devices by growth of SiC films on large-diameter Si wafers is hampered by the very high temperatures (close to the Si melting temperature) that are needed for growth and doping by the existing techniques. Here, we present a unique doping method for growth of Al-doped single-crystalline 3C-SiC epilayers on 150 mm Si(1 0 0) substrates by atomic-layer epitaxy at 1000 1C using a conventional low-pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor. Al atomic concentration in the range of 2.8 Â 10 19 to 2.1 Â 10 20 cm À 3 , proportional to the supply volume of trimethylaluminium, is experimentally demonstrated. A doping mechanism, based on the supply sequence of precursors and reactor pressure, is proposed.

Non-polar relaxed cubic GaN was grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on nano-patterned 3C-SiC/Si (0 0 1) substrates with negligible hexagonal content and less defect density than in planar cubic GaN layers. Nano-patterning of 3C-SiC/Si (0 0 1) is achieved by self-ordered colloidal masks for the fir
Various aspects of the elaboration of (1 1 1) oriented 3C-SiC films on silicon are discussed within a comparative study of different layer characteristics for (1 1 1) and (1 0 0) orientations. The dissimilarities between both orientations are pointed out. This includes the growth mode during the nuc
