Abstract
The amorphous SiC thick films were successfully fabricated on P-type ≪100≫ oriented silicon substrates at comparatively low temperature via DC magnetron sputtering deposition using a sintered SiC target with different DC power of 80W, 100W, 120W, and 150W. The deposition argon pressure was constantly at 2.0Pa. The as-grown SiC films were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and profilometer. The low turn-on field of about 3.5V/µm obtained from the field-emission property measurement at an anode-sample separation of 200µm shows that SiC films are competitive candidates for field-emission-based vacuum microelectronic devices.
