AbstractSelective epitaxial growth (SEG) of silicon-germanium (SiGe) films on patterned-oxide silicon substrates, using a tubular hot-wall low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) system, is demonstrated in this study. This conventional system is proposed as a low cost alternative for SiGe epitaxial growth. Three process improvements needed to achieve quality growth are discussed. First, the hydrogen bake process is modified to eliminate Ge-outgassing. Secondly, a Si SEG buffer layer is deposited prior to SiGe SEG. Finally, a small flow of dichlorosilane is introduced during the temperature ramp-down period prior to SiGe SEG. The growth results are discussed in terms of growth selectivity, thickness uniformity, growth rate, defect density, SiGe film composition, and electrical properties.

A vertical 3×2〞low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) system has been developed to realize fast epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC. The epitaxial growth process was optimized and it was found that the growth rate increases with increasing C/Si ratio and tends to saturate when C/Si ratio exceeded 1. Mirror-like thick 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers are obtained at 1500 °C and C/Si ratio of 0.5 with a growth rate of 25 μm/h. The minimum RMS roughness is 0.20 nm and the FWHM of rocking curves of epilayers grown for 1 hour and 2 hours are 26.2 arcsec and 32.4 arcsec, respectively. These results indicate that high-quality thick 4H-SiC epilayers can be grown successfully on the off-orientation 4H-SiC substrates.
