A study of morphology and texture of LPCVD germanium-silicon films

Abstract: In this work, LPCVD Germanium-Silicon films were deposited on thermally oxidised silicon wafers using a horizontal LPCVD system, at a deposition temperature in the range between 430 and 480 o C and total pressure between 5 and 200 Pa. Pure GeH 4 and SiH 4 gases were used as precursors. Morphology and texture of the Ge x Si 1-x (X=0.3-0.6) films were investigated versus deposition parameters. It has been shown that at the deposition temperature of 430 o C and total pressure of 20 Pa the grain size varied betwee… Show more

“…The film morphology has been studied in detail in our earlier paper. 32 The root-mean-square surface roughness R rms strongly depended on both total pressure and film thickness. The tendency of the R rms behavior exhibits apparent growth of the roughness with increasing thickness.…”

“…31 Film properties ͑texture, morphology, etc.͒ strongly depend on film composition and, therefore, are influenced by the depletion from germane. 32 In addition, the deposition kinetics of poly-Ge x Si 1−x films is strongly influenced by film composition, especially for the films containing a high fraction of germanium, 33 and up to date, a study of such a deposition at lower temperatures down to 430°C is lacking.…”

“…Quando falamos de CVD para filmes de silício (ou à base de Si, como SiGe e SiC), a transição entre o limite por taxa de reação e por transporte de massa depende basicamente de um fator: a quantidade de H adsorvido na superfície do substrato [37].…”

“…A mesma seqüência empregada para a SiH 4 pode ser utilizada para a GeH 4 , apenas ajustando as energias de ligação [38,48] As seqüências (r 3) -(r 4) e (r 6) -(r 8) são utilizadas devido à importância exercida pelo silineno (SiH 2 ) durante o processo de deposição [32,47] e a reação (r 9) representa a difusão de átomos de hidrogênio pela superfície de SiGe [38,49]. A reação (r 9) tem influência direta sobre a dessorção de hidrogênio (r 10), principal fator limitante para a deposição de filmes finos de Si [37] e é a principal diferença entre a deposição de SiGe-poli e a deposição de Si-poli.…”
