Dense SiC ceramics were fabricated by high-temperature physical vapor transport (HTPVT) growth process using SiC nanoarrays as the crystal seeds, which was obtained by vacuum heat treatment of amorphous SiC films prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. In the HTPVT process, two-step holding was adopted, and the temperature at the first step was controlled at 2100 and 2150 °C to avoid SiC nanoarrays evaporation, and the grain size of SiC crystal increased with the increase in temperature and decrease in the pressure of Ar. The temperature of the second step was 2300 °C, and rapid SiC grain growth and gradual densification were achieved. The prepared SiC ceramics exhibited a relative density of more than 99%, an average grain size of about 100 μm, a preferred orientation along the (0 0 0 6) plane, a Vickers hardness of about 29 GPa, a flexural strength of about 360 MPa, and thermal conductivity at room temperature of more than 200 W·m −1 ·K −1 .
