The oxidation behavior of high‐purity silicon carbide (SiC) prepared by chemical vapor deposition was investigated by thermogravimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range 1534–1902 K in pure O 2 . The carbon layer formed at the SiC/SiO 2 interface upon oxidation above 1784 K. Raman peaks corresponding to D ‐ and G ‐bands could be identified from the carbon layer. Bubbles were observed in the SiO 2 scale after the oxidation at 1873 K. This could be attributed to the accumulation of CO gas at the SiC/SiO 2 interface, resulting in the formation of the carbon layer and bubbles. These suggest that the oxidation rate of SiC is limited by the outward diffusion of CO in the SiO 2 scale in this temperature range.
