Hozumi, Hideaki*; Ogawa, Shuichi*; Yoshigoe, Akitaka ; Ishizuka, Shinji*; Harries, J.; Teraoka, Yuden; Takakuwa, Yuji*

The 3C-SiC formation on the Si(001) surface by ethylene has been studied. The facts that 3C-SiC nucleation takes place after incuvation time and four Si$$_{1-x}$$C$$_{x}$$ alloy layers are formed during the incuvation time. In this study, critical carbon concentration for SiC nucleation has been investigated. Time evolution of Si2p and C1s photoemission peaks were observed by real-time synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy during exposure Si(001) substrate to ethylene gas at 913 K. Consequently, 3C-SiC nucleation takes place at carbon concentration of 15%.
