    摘要: A method of manufacturing a ceramic matrix composite component may include introducing a gaseous precursor into an inlet portion of a chamber that houses a porous preform and introducing a gaseous mitigation agent into an outlet portion of the chamber that is downstream of the inlet portion of the chamber. The gaseous precursor may include methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) and the gaseous mitigation agent may include hydrogen gas. The introduction of the gaseous precursor may result in densification of the porous preform(s) and the introduction of the gaseous mitigation agent may shift the reaction equilibrium to disfavor the formation of harmful and/or pyrophoric byproduct deposits, which can accumulate in an exhaust conduit 340 of the system.

    摘要: Methods for depositing silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) thin films on a substrate in a reaction space are provided. The methods can include at least one plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) cycle including alternately and sequentially contacting the substrate with a silicon precursor that does not comprise nitrogen and a second reactant that does not include oxygen. In some embodiments the methods allow for the deposition of SiOC films having improved acid-based wet etch resistance.

    摘要: A substrate mounting member according to the present invention is a member for mounting a SiC substrate for epitaxial growth, which includes a wafer plate including a SiC polycrystal, and a supporting plate configured to be placed on the wafer plate, include no SiC polycrystal and have a surface serving as a SiC substrate placing surface, the surface being on the side opposite to a surface in contact with the wafer plate, and in which a thickness h [mm] of the supporting plate satisfies an expression h4≤3 pa4(1−v2){(5+v)/(1+v)}/16E when a force applied to a unit area of the supporting plate by a self-weight of the supporting plate and by the SiC substrate is represented as p [N/mm2], a radius of the supporting plate as a [mm], a Poisson's ratio as v and a Young's modulus as E [MPa].
