Abstract

The CVD of the coatings in the B-Si-C-H-C1-Ar system was accomplished using a statistically designed experiment. The experimental design used five factor half-fraction factorial with a central composite design that was both rotatable and orthogonal. Deposits were thick and dense and were composed of B13C2 and β-SiC with compositions ranging from 0 to 100%. Response surfaces were generated using multivariate regression for unit cell volumes of B13C2 and β-SiC, %B13C2/%SiC in the coating, and the Si to B ratio in the deposit. These equations could then be used to examine the significant variables in the reaction, as well as for tailoring and optimizing the deposition process.
