ABSTRACTMg-doped GaN films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were characterized by variable-temperature Hall-effect measurements and Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. As-grown, thermally activated, and deuterated Mg-doped GaN samples were investigated. The existence of Mg-H complexes in GaN is demonstrated with the observation of a local vibrational mode (LVM) at 3125 cm-1 (8 K). At 300 K this absorption line shifts to 3122 cm-1. The intensity of the LVM line is strongest in absorption spectra of as-grown GaN. Mg which is semi-insulating. Upon thermal activation, the intensity of the LVM line significantly decreases and an acceptor concentration of 2×1019cm-3 is derived from the Hall-effect data. After deuteration at 600°C the resistivity of the Mg-doped GaN increased by four orders of magnitude. A LVM line at 2321 cm-1 (8 K) appears in the absorption spectra which is consistent with the isotopie shift of the vibrational frequency when D is substituted for H.

AbstractPolycrystalline ß-FeSi2 layers prepared by codeposition of Si and Fe on cold and hot Si substrates and ß-FeSi2, crystals grown by chemical vapor transport were investigated. Resistivity and Hall effect measurements revealed the p-type conductivity of undoped material and the influence of some dopants of the iron group. The activation energy of a Cr-related acceptor was determined to about 85 meV. The mobility data were found to depend significantly on the purity of the preparation process.

Lattice-matched Ga0.47In0.53As was epitaxially grown on InP substrates by the reaction of triethylgallium, triethylindium and arsine. The mobility and carrier concentration in these layers were determined by sequential etch and Hall effect measurements made on the grown layers. These measurements show a considerable fall–off in mobility in the vicinity of the interface, accompanied by a rapid increase in electron concentration. In situ chloride etching of the substrate, prior to Ga–In–As growth, is shown to reduce significantly but not eliminate these interface effects. In this paper we outline possible reasons for these effects, based on measurements made on films grown with and without substrate etching and also on measurements of the effect of etching on the substrate itself.

When an energetic ion penetrates through an interface between a thin film (of species A) and a substrate (of species B), ion induced atomic mixing may result in an intermixed region (which contains A and B) near the interface. Most ion beam mixing experiments have been directed toward metal-silicon systems, silicide phases are generally obtained, and they are the same as those formed by thermal treatment.Recent emergence of silicide compound as contact material in silicon microelectronic devices is mainly due to the superiority of the silicide-silicon interface in terms of uniformity and thermal stability. It is of great interest to understand the kinetics of the interfacial reactions to provide insights into the nature of ion beam-solid interactions as well as to explore its practical applications in device technology.About 500 Å thick molybdenum was chemical vapor deposited in hydrogen ambient on (001) n-type silicon wafer with substrate temperature maintained at 650-700°C. Samples were supplied by D. M. Brown of General Electric Research & Development Laboratory, Schenectady, NY.

As advanced semiconductor device features shrink, grain boundaries and interfaces become increasingly more important to the properties of thin metal films. With film thicknesses decreasing to the range of 10 nm and the corresponding features also decreasing to sub-micrometer sizes, interface and grain boundary properties become dominant. In this regime the details of the surfaces and grain boundaries dictate the interactions between film layers and the subsequent electrical properties. Therefore it is necessary to accurately characterize these materials on the proper length scale in order to first understand and then to improve the device effectiveness. In this talk we will examine the importance of microstructural characterization of thin metal films used in semiconductor devices and show how microstructure can influence the electrical performance. Specifically, we will review Co and Ti silicides for silicon contact and gate conductor applications, Ti/TiN liner films used for adhesion and diffusion barriers in chemical vapor deposited (CVD) tungsten vertical wiring (vias) and Ti/AlCu/Ti-TiN films used as planar interconnect metal lines.
