Claim Text:
1. A method of depositing a silicon carbide film, the method comprising: providing a substrate; flowing a first organo-silicon precursor onto the substrate; flowing a second organo-silicon precursor onto the substrate, wherein the first organo-silicon precursor is different from the second organo-silicon precursor, and wherein the first organo-silicon precursor and the second organo-silicon precursor are flowed together onto the substrate; and introducing radicals from a source gas generated from a plasma source, wherein all or substantially all the radicals are in a substantially low energy state to react with the first and the second organo-silicon precursors to deposit the silicon carbide film on the substrate under conditions that break one or both of silicon-hydrogen bonds and silicon-silicon bonds but preserve silicon-oxygen, silicon-nitrogen, and/or silicon-carbon bonds, the broken silicon-hydrogen bonds and broken silicon-silicon bonds capable of cross-linking, the reaction occurring in a reaction space adjacent to the substrate and remote from the plasma source, the source gas being selected from a group consisting of: hydrogen, ammonia, and amine.
