AbstractThe incorporation of erbium in silicon is studied during solid phase epitaxy (SPE) of Erimplanted amorphous Si on crystalline Si, and during Si molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Segregation and trapping of Er is observed on Si(100), both during SPE and MBE. The trapping during SPE shows a discontinuous dependence on Er concentration, attributed to the effect of defect trap sites in the amorphous Si near the interface. Trapping during MBE is described by a continuous kinetic growth model. Above a critical Er density (which is lower for MBE than for SPE), growth instabilities occur, attributed to the formation of silicide precipitates. No segregation occurs during MBE on Si(111), attributed to the epitaxial growth of silicide precipitates.

AbstractWe investigate low-temperature epitaxial growth of thin silicon films on Si [100] substrates and polycrystalline template layers formed by selective nucleation and solid phase epitaxy (SNSPE). We have grown 300 nm thick epitaxial layers at 300°C on silicon [100] substrates using a high H2:SiH4 ratio of 70:1. Transmission electron microscopy confirms that the films are epitaxial with a periodic array of stacking faults and are highly twinned after approximately 240 nm of growth. Evidence is also presented for epitaxial growth on polycrystalline SNSPE templates under the same growth conditions.

AbstractWe have measured the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the solid phase epitaxial growth (SPEG) rates of undoped Ge(100) and Si(100) into their respective self-implanted amorphous phases. We found that pressure enhances the growth process in both Si and Ge, with activation volumes equal to -3.3 ± 0.3 cm3/mole for Si and -6.3 ± 0.60 cm3/mole for Ge. The results of this and other experiments are inconsistent with all bulk point-defect mechanisms, but are consistent with all interface point-defect mechanisms, proposed to date for thermal SPEG. A kinetic analysis of the Spaepen-Turnbull dangling bond mechanism shows it to be a highly plausible model for the growth process.

ABSTRACTRecent progress in studies of temperature dependent kinetic competition during solid phase crystallization of silicon is reviewed. Specific areas which are emphasized include: the enhancement of solid phase epitaxial growth rates by impurity-induced changes in electronic properties at the crystal/amorphous interface, the influence of impurity diffusion and precipitation in amorphous silicon on the kinetics of epitaxial growth, the effects of impurities on the kinetic competition between solid phase epitaxy and random crystallization, and the kinetics of solid phase crystallization at very high temperatures in silicon.
