In high vacuum annealing furnace described in step 7, anneal, annealing time 1-5 hour, 950 ℃ of annealing temperatures
Beneficial effect of the present invention:
The present invention adopts resistance-type thermal evaporation and magnetron sputtering technique, has prepared environment-friendly semiconductor SiC thin-film material.The ultimate principle of resistance-type thermal evaporation heating is, evaporating materials is put into suitable resistance heating body, and energising makes the evaporation of evaporating materials direct heating, thereby makes evaporating materials deposit to and on substrate, form film with gaseous form.The ultimate principle of magnetron sputtering is, with high energy particle (Ar), clashes into target material surface, after the atom with target material surface or molecule carry out energy exchange, from fly out atom or molecule deposition of target material surface, at substrate, forms film; The present invention adopts resistance-type thermal evaporation and magnetron sputtering technique in graphite substrate, to deposit Si/C film, with being placed in vacuum annealing furnace, anneals.Annealing furnace vacuum tightness is less than or equal to 4.0 * 10
-4pa, annealing time 1-5 hour, 950 ℃ of annealing temperatures, obtain semiconductor material SiC film.At present domestic there is not yet in graphite substrate this evaporation of material resistance formula and the preparation technology of magnetron sputtering combined techniques and the report that associated hot treatment condition are studied; Adopt that graphite substrate is low with respect to traditional substrate cost compare, satisfactory mechanical property and chemical stability good, and conduction and heat dispersion are considerably beyond metallic copper; In addition, because graphite substrate has laminate structure, between each layer, with weak Van der Waals Wurz power combination, than being easier to separate silicon carbide from graphite substrate, transfer on other substrates, realize the preparation of silicon carbide device; Compared with prior art, it is lower that the present invention has production cost, the simple advantage of processing sequence; The invention solves tradition adopt monocrystalline substrate as substrate, prepare that the cost that carborundum films exists is high, technique is loaded down with trivial details and silicon substrate and silicon carbide between there is larger lattice mismatch and thermal expansion mismatch, seriously limited the problems such as performance and used life of its device.

After completing, step 4, evaporation naturally cool to room temperature;
Step 5, take out the sputtering chamber that cooled sample is placed in magnetron sputtering, C target is placed on radio frequency target.
Step 6, first sputtering chamber is vacuumized, when vacuum tightness is less than or equal to 2.0 * 10
-5during Pa, and keep for some time; Then start sputter, sputtering pressure 2.0Pa, argon flow amount 15sccm, power during sputter is 110W, sputtering time is 20 minutes.
After step 7, sputter finish, naturally cool to room temperature, take out sample and be placed in high-temperature annealing furnace, in high vacuum annealing furnace, annealing furnace back end vacuum tightness is less than or equal to 4.0 * 10
-4pa.Annealing time 1-5 hour, 950 ℃ of annealing temperatures, form SiC polycrystal film.
