AbstractFocused Ion Beam (FIB) technology allows to process various materials within a lateral range below 100 nm. The feasibility to mechanically sputter as well as to direct-write nanostructures and the fact that Ga-ions are utilized is unique for this method. The focused Ga-ions are used to locally induce a chemical vapor deposition of volatile precursor molecules adsorbed on a surface. Local deposition of metals and dielectrics has been achieved on a sub-µm scale utilizing a focused ion beam. This method is highly suitable for advanced microelectronic semiconductor fabrication. However, material specifications are narrow for these tailor-made applications. The effect of the Ga-ions implanted into the material both during sputtering and deposition has been realized as a key parameter for the function of FIB processed microelectronic devices. For Si-based semiconductors Ga can be used as dopant intentionally implanted into a Si substrate to locally modify the conductivity of Si. The results of locally confined ion irradiation on the surface roughness of a Si surface have been exploited by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Both local sputter depletion of the sample surface as well as sub-µm deposition of selected metals or dielectrics by ion-induced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been examined. The penetration depth and the distribution of Ga ions during the deposition process have been studied by simulation and experimentally by profiling with secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) of cross-sections of the ion processed materials has revealed amorphisation of the crystalline substrate. For focused ion beam assisted deposition the effects of ion irradiation on the interface to the substrate and the local efficiency of the deposition are illustrated and discussed. The prospects of focused ion beam processing for modification of microelectronic devices in the sub-µm range and the limitations are demonstrated by the examples shown.

Kinetics Of

Patterning of metals is a key element in the fabrication of integrated microelectronics. For circuit repair and engineering changes constructive lithography, writing techniques, based on electron, ion or photon beam-induced decomposition of precursor molecule and its deposition on top of a structure have gained wide acceptance Recently, scanning probe techniques have been used for line drawing and wire growth of W on a silicon substrate for quantum effect devices. The kinetics of electron beam induced W deposition from WF6 gas has been studied by adsorbing the gas on SiO2 surface and measuring the growth in a TEM for various exposure times. Our environmental cell allows us to control not only electron exposure time but also the gas pressure flow and the temperature. We have studied the growth kinetics of Au Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), in situ, at different temperatures with/without the electron beam on highly clean Si surfaces in an environmental cell fitted inside a TEM column.

Silicon Thin Film

For heteroepitaxial systems, such as silicon on sapphire (SOS), microtwins occur in significant numbers and are thought to contribute to strain relief in the silicon thin film. The size of this contribution can be assessed from TEM measurements, of the differential volume fraction of microtwins, dV/dν (the derivative of the microtwin volume V with respect to the film volume ν), for SOS grown by both chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).In a (001) silicon thin film subjected to compressive stress along the [100] axis , this stress can be relieved by four twinning systems: a/6[211]/( lll), a/6(21l]/(l1l), a/6[21l] /( l1l), and a/6(2ll)/(1ll).3 For the a/6[211]/(1ll) system, the glide of a single a/6[2ll] twinning partial dislocation draws the two halves of the crystal, separated by the microtwin, closer together by a/3.
