Tetramethylsilane (TMS) is a common liquid-phase precursor that is used in the synthesis of beta-SiC by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). At temperatures above 1500 degrees C, however, it has been shown that C is also formed together with SiC. In this study, based on thermodynamic modeling, we report on the successful synthesis of single-phase SiC with no evidence of the inclusion of C from TMS through CVD at temperatures over 1900 degrees C. X-ray diffraction data showed that alpha-SiC phases are formed at temperatures over 2000 degrees C. On the basis of these results, TMS can be used as a precursor for a-SiC synthesis.
