ABSTRACTThe purpose of this publication is to give an insight into process development performed in two modules which belong to a cluster tool designed for the gate stack process sequence of cleaning, gate oxidation, and polysilicon chemical vapor deposition. For the first time, following the hardware and software MESC-based standards, two suppliers have integrated complementary modules to build a cluster tool. This equipment answers the demands of the 1C Manufacturers and follows the “best of breed” approach. Four single wafer rapid thermal process chambers, a Vapor Phase Cleaning (VPC) and a Rapid Thermal Oxidation/Nitridation (RTO/N) module from STEAG-AST Elektronik, a polysilicon and a nitride chemical vapor deposition module from ASM International are currently connected together to prove the feasibility of the single wafer processing gate stack cluster tool.

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.

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.
