A thermal model for flash lamp annealing of 3C-SiC/Si multi-layer systems (i-FLASiC)

This paper gives an insight into the thermal modeling of the i-FLASiC process, which is the flash lamp annealing of a 3C-SiC and silicon multilayer system. The model uses a standard heat flow model combined with an advanced multilayer optical model. Results from the model are consistent with experimentally observed phenomenon and have been used to explain diffusion mechanisms for the LPE of SiC.
