A method of making a ceramic matrix composite that exhibits chemical resistance has been developed. The method comprises depositing a compliant layer comprising boron nitride, silicon-doped boron nitride, and/or pyrolytic carbon on silicon carbide fibers, depositing a barrier layer having a high contact angle with molten silicon on the compliant layer, and depositing a wetting layer comprising silicon carbide, boron carbide, and/or pyrolytic carbon on the barrier layer. After depositing the wetting layer, a fiber preform comprising the silicon carbide fibers is infiltrated with a slurry. After slurry infiltration, the fiber preform is infiltrated with a melt comprising silicon, and then the melt is cooled, thereby forming a ceramic matrix composite.
