Abstract

The preparation and properties of relatively thick films of DC magnetron sputtered SiC films is described. The films were prepared using a new ceramic sputter target material. The new target material is called Hexoloy® SG–90. It is an electrically conductive, dense ceramic material which can be used as a sputter target to yield insulating amorphous SiC thin films on room temperature substrates.
