AbstractPreviously, we reported improved silicon epitaxy by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) between about 600 and 650°C. Such temperatures are compatible with the thickening of large-grained Si seed layers on borosilicate glasses or other inexpensive substrates. Here, we provide detailed real-time spectroscopic ellipsometry (RTSE) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of two films grown near 600°C. A film grown at 594°C shows breakdown to a polycrystalline phase, while a film grown at 627°C is entirely epitaxial. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of this epitaxial film shows dislocation defects that originate at the substrate/film interface, suggesting that an optimized surface preparation could yield lower defect densities.

AbstractAn ion-assisted chemical vapor deposition method by which Cu is deposited preferentially from the bottom of trenches (anisotropic CVD) has been proposed in order to fill small via holes and trenches. By using Ar + H2 + C2H5OH[Cu(hfac)2] discharges with a ratio H2 / (H2 + Ar) = 83%, Cu is filled preferentially from the bottom of trenches without deposition on the sidewall and top surfaces. The deposition rate on the bottom surface of trenches is experimentally found to increase with decreasing its width.

Boron-doped polycrystalline silicon film was synthesized using hot wire chemical vapor deposition technique for possible application in photonics devices. To investigate the effect of substrate, we considered Si/SiO2, glass/ITO/TiO2, Al2O3, and nickel tungsten alloy strip for the growth of polycrystalline silicon films. Scanning electron microscopy, optical reflectance, optical transmittance, X-ray diffraction, and I-V measurements were used to characterize the silicon films. The resistivity of the film was 1.3 × 10−2 Ω-cm for the polycrystalline silicon film, which was suitable for using as a window layer in a solar cell. These films have potential uses in making photodiode and photosensing devices.
