Abstract

A doped or undoped silicon carbide film can be deposited using a remote plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. One or more silicon-containing precursors are provided to a reaction chamber. Radical species, such as hydrogen radical species, are provided in a substantially low energy state or ground state and interact with the one or more silicon-containing precursors to deposit the silicon carbide film. A co-reactant may be flowed with the one or more silicon-containing precursors, where the co-reactant is a carbon-containing precursor and each silicon-containing precursor is a silane-based precursor with at least a silicon atom having two or more hydrogen atoms bonded to the silicon atom.
