Abstract
The invention relates to a surface treatment for stoichiometric silicon carbide. A carbon-rich silicon carbide layer is applied over the silicon carbide. In the case of the silicon carbide surface, the ratio of silicon to carbon in the carbon-rich layer varies from one at the silicon carbide interface to near zero in the interior of the carbon-rich layer to greater than zero and preferably 0.3 to 0.5 on the surface of the carbon-rich layer remote from the interface. A preferred method of making the silicon carbide layer is also presented.
