High-resolution synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption of Si K-edge have been employed to investigate 6H-, 4H- and 3C-SiC. Detailed analyses of the extended x-ray absorption fine structure are taken by using the IFEFFIT program, and significant results on the atomic bonding are obtained from these comparative studies. The x-ray absorption near-edge structures of the Si K-edge are investigated, and the electronic structure of 3C-, 4H- and 6H-SiC are studied. In order to investigate the angular dependence, the x-ray absorption near-edge spectra were operated at 55o and 90o of the angle between the surface and the X-ray direction.
