In this work, monocrystalline films of silicon carbide were synthesized on the surface of a Si(100) silicon wafer using the method of coordinated substitution of atoms. The films were synthesized at temperatures of 1200 °C and 1300 °C for 20 minutes in a CO gas flow at a pressure of 0.8 Pa. The effect of 1200–1300 °C temperatures on the formation of single- and polycrystalline layers, as well as nanostructured SiC phases in the near-surface region of silicon by the method of atom substitution, is analyzed. The formation of a high-quality crystalline silicon carbide film and the influence of synthesis conditions on the total volume of SiC structural phases, microstructure and nanostructure of the surface are shown. It was found that an increase in temperature from 1200 °C to 1300 °C led to a more intensive formation of silicon carbide and an increase in the number of Si–C bonds by 1.9 times due to an increase in the thickness of the synthesized silicon carbide layer. There is an increase in the proportion of the crystalline phase due to a more intense transformation of the nuclei of nanocrystals into micro- and nanocrystals. Intense processes of penetration of carbon atoms deep into silicon at a temperature of 1300 °C with amorphization of its structure and the formation of Si-C, which can transform into crystalline phases at temperatures above 1300 °C, are assumed. The proportion of the SiC crystalline phase increases to 50.2% of the film volume due to the intensive transformation of nanocrystal nuclei into micro- and nanocrystals. It has been experimentally shown that the formation of various SiC structures on Si (100) occurs in full accordance with the main principles of the method of coordinated substitution of atoms.
