Abstract

High purity, ultrafine Si, SiC and Si N4 powders have been produced from gas phase reactants (SiH, hydrocarbons, NH3) in a C2 laser induced process. Optical on-line diagnostics have been performed to investigate the reaction mechanism in the gas phase. Final product chemical analysis has been employed to check the formation of stoichiometric compounds. Morphologic and crystallographic characterizations of the powders have been performed in order to establish their phase composition, their micro-structure and to understand the growth mechanism which is mostly affected by laser power and residence time.
