AbstractWe discuss the applicability of ultrathin SiO2 layers as a mask for low-temperature selective-area deposition of Si. Thin oxide layers with estimated thickness ranging from 4 to 20 Å were formed by oxidizing H-terminated Si(100) surfaces by a remote plasma exposure at room temperature. Low-temperature selective-area deposition was carried out using two different techniques: flow-modulated plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (FM-PECVD) using SiH4 and H2, and very low pressure CVD (VLPCVD) using Si2H4. We show that the ultra-thin plasma oxide layers exhibit good properties for a use as a passivating mask layer, and that the oxide layer can be patterned directly by E-beam irradiation. These results open up a possibility to realize Si-nanostructures formation by selective-area processing. Degradation of the oxide layer by plasma processing is also discussed.

ABSTRACTII-VI semiconductor surface passivants, insulators, and epitaxial films have been deposited onto selective surface areas by employing a new masking and lift-off technique. The II-VI layers were grown by either conventional or photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). CdTe has been selectively deposited onto HgCdTe epitaxial layers as a surface passivant. Selective-area deposition of ZnS has been used in metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. Low resistance ohmic contacts to p-type CdTe:As have also been realized through the use of selectively-placed thin films of the semi-metal HgTe followed by a thermal evaporation of In. Epitaxial layers of HgTe, HgCdTe, and HgTe-CdTe superlattices have also been grown in selective areas on CdZnTe substrates, exhibiting specular morphologies and double-crystal x-ray diffraction rocking curves (DCXD) with full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) as narrow as 140 arcseconds.

ABSTRACTIt has been demonstrated that copper can be selectively deposited on a variety of substrates including Teflon (polytetrafluroethylene or PTFE), Kapton (polyimide resin), silicon and gallium arsnide from solution by photo-assisted initiated deposition. A copper containing solution was prepared from a mixture of copper(I) chloride (Cu2Ci2) and decaborane (B10H14) in diethyl ether and/or THF (tetrahydrofuran). The copper films were fabricated by ultraviolet photolytic decomposition of copper chloride and polyhedral borane clusters. This liquid phase deposition has a gas-phase cluster analog that also results in copper deposition via pyrolysis. The approach of depositing metal thin films selectively by pholysis from solution is a novel and an underutilized approach to selective area deposition.

ABSTRACTA preliminary study has been made of the UV photolysis of metal-organic compounds of Hg, Cd and Te which could be used for low-temperature, selective-area deposition of cadmium mercury telluride (CMT). High-resolution UV absorption spectra have been measured for dimethylcadmium (CdMe2), dimethylmercury (HgMe2) and diethyltelluride (TeEt2). Possible modes for photodissociation are discussed in the light of these results. The photodissociation of these alkyls was attempted in a hydrogen stream at atmospheric pressure using a mercury-xenon lamp, deposition being being onto a silica reaction tube. Yields of Cd, Hg and Te were measured under different deposition conditions to determine the dependence on UV intensity, alkyl concentration and flow velocity.

ABSTRACTWe discuss a process for selective area deposition of microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si) using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at low substrate temperature (<300°C) using time modulated silane flow in a hydrogen plasma. We discuss selectivity and deposition rate on a variety of substrates with process conditions important for manufacturing applications, and show a distinct microstructural evolution in the initial nucleation layers using Raman spectroscopy that correlates with the transition from selective to non-selective growth. Atomic hydrogen discriminates between different degrees of bond strain in the nucleii formed on different substrates, and can increase the crystallinity fraction in films deposited at low temperatures by modifying the kinetics of bulk-like bond formation.

Recently, TiSi2 has been the object of considerable study because of its low resistivity among the transition metal silicides and its compatibility with existing ULSI technology [1,2]. Film growth by CVD offers the potential for selective area deposition and high production throughput. However, selective CVD of TiSi2 from gas phase SiH4 and TiCl4 is usually accompanied by a competing reaction which consumes intolerable amounts of the Si substrate [3,4]. Controlling this consumption is crucial in TiSi2 growth; however, no quantitative correlation exists between silicon consumption and growth conditions or film thickness. Additionally, the reaction mechanism for TiSi2 growth is poorly understood, and some disagreement even exists about the reaction stoichiometry [5,6]. The combined CVD/UHV approach we have developed fills many gaps in the current understanding of TiSi2 CVD.

AbstractThe scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) can be used to selectively deposit material from a gaseous precursor compound. Ultrasmall (less than a 100 nm across) spatial dimensions for selective area deposition may be achieved by this means. In this paper we outline a scheme forselecting and designing main group cluster compounds and organometallics for this type of selective area deposition using nido-decaborane(14) as an example.
