Macroporous SiC with pore size 84∼658 nm and mesoporous SiC with pore size 15∼65 nm were respectively prepared by infiltrating low viscosity preceramic polymer solutions into the various sacrificial templates obtained by natural sedimentation or centrifuge of 20∼700 nm silica sol, which were subsequently etched off with HF after pyrolysis at 1000∼140$0^{circ}C$ in an argon atmosphere. Three-dimensionally long range ordered macroporous SiC ceramics derived from polymethylsilane (PMS) showed surface area 584.64$m^2$g$^{-1}$ when prepared with 112nm silica sol and at 140$0^{circ}C$, whereas mesoporous SiC from polycarbosilane (PCS) exhibited the highest surface area 619.4 $m^2$g$^{-1}$ with random pore array when prepared with 20-30 nm silica sol and at 100$0^{circ}C$. Finally, tile pore characteristics of porous SiC on the types of silica sol, polymers and pyrolytic conditions were interpreted with the analytical results of SEM, TEM, and BET instruments.
