Thermochromic Properties of 3C-, 6H- and 4H-SiC Polytypes up to 500°C

Résumé

The thermochromic properties (color change with temperature) of n type doped SiC wafers of different polytypes (3C, 4H and 6H) have been investigated up to 500°C under air. It was found that 3C-SiC color passes from bright yellow at room temperature to deep orangeat 500°C leading to a color contrast (ΔE) as high as 64. The hexagonal polytypes undergo also a color change upon heating but far less pronounced, with ΔE values <20. All these semiconductors undergo band gap shrinkage upon heating which effect largely participated to the observed color change. This effect is very sensitive for 3C polytypesince its bandgap is already in the visible energy range at room temperature. The thermochromicity of 3C-SiC was found to be reversible thanks to its thermal stability and its resistance towards oxidation.
