The heating system 10 adjusts various heating parameters according to the temperature signal to achieve the temperature environment required for preparing the silicon carbide coating. The setting of various parameters for the temperature environment required for preparing the silicon carbide coating is a conventional technique in the art and will not be described in detail here.

Under the influence of the radio frequency electric field generated by the radio frequency electric field generator 8, the gaseous byproducts and SiC gas are converted into charged plasma. The plasma includes positively charged SiC atoms. +and C + and negative ions, positively charged Si + and C + Under the action of the electric field, the ions move directionally to the substrate loading mechanism 7 where a negative voltage is applied, and form a uniform silicon carbide coating on the surface of the substrate 14. The negative ions are adsorbed onto the side wall at the top of the coating chamber 1 where a positive voltage is applied under the action of the electric field.
