摘要
Using in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), ex situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) the nucleation behaviour of silicon carbide on silicon during the interaction of elemental carbon with silicon surfaces was investigated. The critical island sizes and the growth mechanisms leading to nano-dot formation were determined.
