Abstract

In order to investigate residence time effect on the growth of ZrC film, the ZrC films grew with various system total pressure (P) and total flow rate (Q) by low pressure chemical vapor deposition because residence time is function of system total pressure and total flow rate. Thermodynamic calculations predict that the decomposition of source gases ($ZrCl_4$ and $CH_4$) would be low as increasing the residence time. Thermodynamic calculations results were proved by investigating deposition rate with various residence time. Deposition rate decreased with residence time of source gas increased. Besides, depletion effect accelerated diminution of deposition rate at high residence time. On the other hands, the deposition rated was increased as decreasing the residence time because fast moving of intermediate gas species decrease the depletion effect. The crystal structure was not changed with residence time. However, the largest size of faceted grain showed up to specific residence time and the size of grain was decreased whether residence time increase or not.
