摘要：
包括纳米线和薄膜在内的SiC结构可通过碳化在Si衬底上有效生长。然而，除温度外，影响SiC纳米线或薄膜择优形成的生长参数尚未被确定。在本工作中，我们通过改变生长温度以及氢气与甲烷气体流量比（H$_2$/CH$_4$），研究了利用甲烷（CH$_4$）进行Si碳化以合成SiC的过程。我们证明，调节这些参数能够实现SiC纳米线或薄膜的择优生长。具体而言，当H$_2$/CH$_4$比超过某一特定阈值时，SiC纳米线会择优生长；该阈值随生长温度而变化，温度范围为1200$^\circ$C至1310$^\circ$C。依据H$_2$/CH$_4$比和生长温度建立SiC纳米线的这一精确生长窗口，为参数驱动的SiC形貌提供了新的认识。此外，我们基于气相反应和表面过程的动力学，提出了一个机理模型，用于解释SiC纳米线或薄膜的择优生长。这些发现不仅推进了我们对SiC生长机制的理解，也为优化SiC基纳米结构的制备策略铺平了道路。
英文摘要：
SiC structures, including nanowires and films, can be effectively grown on Si substrates through carbonization. However, growth parameters other than temperature, which influence the preferential formation of SiC nanowires or films, have not yet been identified. In this work, we investigate SiC synthesis via Si carbonization using methane (CH$_4$) by varying the growth temperature and the hydrogen to methane gas flow ratio (H$_2$/CH$_4$). We demonstrate that adjusting these parameters allows for the preferential growth of SiC nanowires or films. Specifically, SiC nanowires are preferentially grown when the H$_2$/CH$_4$ ratio exceeds a specific threshold, which varies with the growth temperature, ranging between 1200$^\circ$C and 1310$^\circ$C. Establishing this precise growth window for SiC nanowires in terms of the H$_2$/CH$_4$ ratio and growth temperature provides new insights into the parameter-driven morphology of SiC. Furthermore, we propose a mechanistic model to explain the preferential growth of either SiC nanowires or films, based on the kinetics of gas-phase reactions and surface processes. These findings not only advance our understanding of SiC growth mechanisms but also pave the way for optimized fabrication strategies for SiC-based nanostructures.
