Résumé
Investigation of porous silicon as a new compliant substrate for hetero-epitaxial deposition of 3C-SiC on silicon has been performed. The resulting layer has been analyzed in terms of X-ray diffraction, infrared reflectivity, micro-Raman scattering and low temperature photoluminescence experiments. From the results, intermediate properties between 3C-SiC deposited on bulk silicon and 3C-SiC deposited on SIMOX have been found. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
