Abstract

We have developed a new pulsed laser deposition technique using two Nd:YAG laser beams for the nucleation of silicon carbide (SiC) crystalline nano-particles and single crystalline SiC thin films. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy observation suggest that several nanometer size SiC particles can be prepared by the new pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method using two Nd:YAG laser beams (1064nm and 532nm). X ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements suggest that the silicon/carbon composition ratio of the prepared SiC thin films can be controlled by laser fluence and wavelength.
