摘要
The growth mechanism of Si epitaxial film at low temperatures on Si(100) by photochemical vapor deposition (photo-CVD) is analyzed theoretically by using reaction models both in the gas phase and on the surface. We discuss three surface reactions: the growth of Si from SiH3 radicals, the dangling bond termination by atomic hydrogen and the abstraction of bonding hydrogen by SiH3 radicals. The parameters of the surface-reaction model are estimated from the experimental results, assuming that the film structure is determined by the hydrogen surface-coverage ratio "theta". The theoretical analysis explains well the experimental results of the Si films grown under various conditions.
