Abstract
Edge-defined film-fed grown polycrystalline silicon sheets, grown with one face exposed to oxidizing CO gas added to the inert Ar atmosphere, were studied. Interaction of CO with molten silicon surface during growth produced SiC-like structures in a thin layer on the surface exposed to CO. Infrared spectroscopy results suggest that this layer is constituted of good quality SiC; however, Raman and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that it consists of Si 1-xCx in the form of small crystallites mixed with C- and O-rich silicon.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
