Abstract

A silicon carbide (SiC) structure and a method of forming the SiC structure are disclosed. The SiC structure includes an SiC substrate and a film provided on the SiC substrate. The SiC substrate contains both of a hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure and a face centered cubic (fcc) structure, and has only one of the hcp surface and the fcc surface, where the hcp surface includes atoms in the topmost layer whose rows overlap with rows of atoms in the third layer, while, the fcc surface includes atoms in the topmost layer whose rows are different from rows of atoms in the third layer.
