Abstract:Si/SiGe selective epitaxial growth is becoming a critical process step for ULSI fabrication on 65nm and beyond technologies with need for elevated source-drain or strained Si channel to enhance device performance. This paper reviews recent efforts to improve batch-type epitaxial reactors for high-volume device fabrication and shows recent progress in low-temperature Si/SiGe selective epi process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
