Abstract

This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly(polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin film with various doping concentration, in which poly 3C-SiC thin film's mechanical properties according to the n-doping concentration 1%$(9.2\times10^{15}cm^{-3})$, 3%$(5.2\times10^{17}cm^{-3})$, and 5%$(6.8\times10^{17}cm^{-3})$ respectively was measured by nano indentation. In the case of $9.2\times10^{15}^{-3}$ n-doping concentration, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 270 GPa and 30 GPa, respectively. When the surface roughness according to n-doping concentrations was investigated by AFM(atomic force microscope), the roughness of poly 3C-SiC thin film doped by 5% concentration was 15 nm, which is also the best of them.
