摘要
Selective epitaxial layers of silicon have been successfully grown in a chlorine-free system. An optimum set of growth conditions has been found under which selective layers of up to 1 mum can be achieved. Excellent thickness uniformity (less than 5% standard deviation) across the wafer and from run to run has been achieved in windows as small as 1 mum, without any loading effect. In features with sidewalls aligned along the [100] direction, faceting is less pronounced as compared to features aligned along the [110] direction. The technology is promising for the fabrication of future ULSI devices, utilizing selective epitaxial growth of silicon.
