摘要: Abstract The deposition of silicon using tetrasilane as a vapor precursor is described for an ultra-high vacuum chemical tool. growth rates and morphology the Si epitaxial layers over range temperatures pressures are presented. were characterized transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, spectroscopic ellipsometry, Atomic Force Microscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry. Based on this characterization, high quality single crystal epitaxy was observed. Tetrasilane found to produce higher relative lower order silanes, with ability deposit crystalline at low ( T =400 °C), significant amorphous reactivity measured 325 °C, indicating suitability temperature such SiGeSn alloys.
