The crystal growth of 3C-SiC films on (100) Si substrates by the hot-mesh chemical vapor deposition (HMCVD) method using monomethylsilane (MMS) as a source gas was investigated. A mesh structure of hot tungsten (W) wire was used as a catalyzer. At substrate temperatures above 750°C and at a mesh temperature of 1600°C, 3C-SiC crystal was epitaxially grown on Si substrates. From the X-ray rocking curve spectra of the (311) peak, SiC was also epitaxially grown in the substrate plane. From the dependence of growth rate on substrate temperature and W-mesh temperature, the growth mechanism of SiC films by HMCVD was considered.
