The interface microstructure and peculiar wetting phenomena observed in the α-SiC single crystal and liquid Cu reaction system has been examined. α-SiC decomposes into Si and C in contact with Cu liquid at 1100°C. Si dissolves in Cu liquid and no silicide was observed. C forms fine grains of glassy carbon. The reaction layer is deeply formed into the α-SiC side. A specific orientation relationship was found between α-SiC and Cu as following.

oindentThe hexagonal spreading of Cu on α-SiC single crystal is caused by fine hexagonal pits formed on the surface of α-SiC.
