Si is described. After a standard carbonization at 1125° C, SiH 4 and C 3 H 8 were added to
the gas phase while the temperature was raised from 1125° C to the growth temperature of
1380° C with a controlled temperature ramp to grow a thin SiC layer. The quality and the
crystallinity of the buffer layer and the presence of voids at the SiC/Si interface are related to
the gas flow and to the heating ramp rate. In order to improve the buffer quality the SiH 4 and …
