AbstractSilicide formation and growth are studied in three geometries: conventional planar thin films, lateral diffusion couples formed by depositing metal layers on Si islands, and device geometry couples formed by depositing metal on oxide-patterned Si substrates. The influence of impurities is studied by implanting arsenic and krypton into conventional and device geometry structures.Here we present growth kinetics of CrSi2 where the presence of impurities has a strong influence. Si transport dominates in disilicide formation and leads to erosion of contacts around the periphery of oxide windows. Implantation of arsenic suppresses CrSi 2 formation; with krypton implantation, the growth kinetics shifts from linear to square-root in character. We attribute these results to impurity segregation at interfaces or grain boundaries.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents kinetic data for the rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) of <100 silicon using a wall stabilized low pressure arc lamp as the heating source. The data shows a single activation energy of 1.31 eV over the temperature range of 900°C to 1200°C and times of 60 seconds to 240 seconds. Comparisons are made with published kinetic data of RTO using tungsten-halogen lamp source [1] and with furnace oxidation kinetics for short times (<240 sec.) [2]. “Wet” oxidation results using O2:H2 as the oxidizing ambient reveal a lower activation energy and preexponential coefficient than the dry oxidation. Also presented are results using an experimental set-up which exhibits ultraviolet enhanced oxidation.

AbstractWe have investigated the evolution of the microstructure, growth modes, and growth kinetics of β-SiC in a rapid thermal processor using FTIR, ESCA, and TEM. SiC layers were formed by reacting C2H4 with Si substrates between 900 and 1300°C at 5 torr. We found that SiC forms discrete nuclei at 900°C, a mixture of discrete nuclei with a thin β-SiC layer in between those nuclei at around 1000°C, and a continuous β-SiC layer above 1100°C. In all cases, β-SiC grows epitaxially on Si substrates. In addition, we identified that a graphitic carbon layer is formed on top of a continuous β-SiC layer. The thickness of the SiC layer was deduced from the integrated absorption spectra of FTIR and measured from the high resolution cross-sectional TEM micrographs. Kinetic data indicate that SiC grows rapidly at the initial stages of reaction. The growth rate, however, is retarded significantly as the reaction proceeds.
