AbstractThis paper reports on the study of the gettering of nickel contamination in hydrogen annealed CZ-silicon wafers by using method of wet chemical analysis. According to the wet chemical analysis, we believe that the hydrogen annealed wafer is of high quality in the region beneath the surface (DZ) and has a higher gettering ability for nickel compared with conventional CZ wafers. This observation is also in agreement with our MOS C-t measurements.

This is a review of Total reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) applications for semiconductors. This review is limited to surface analysis of contamination for semiconductors and does not include chemical analysis in semiconductor processing. TXRF for surface analysis is a relatively new technology. One of the first publications occurred in 1986 using synchrotron radiation. Publications using commercially available TXRF instruments for semiconductor applications began in 1988. Today there are on the order of 100 TXRF instruments worldwide in the semiconductor industry. Since 1988 there have been about 100 publications in this field, but this number does not include numerous abstracts and publications in Japan where the majority of the commercial instruments are found today. The commercial instruments were developed for the primary application of characterizing the cleaning of planar silicon wafers, however, numerous unforeseen applications were developed by users and many of those applications are reported here. In essence TXRF has much broader application today in the semiconductor industry than supporting the cleaning of silicon wafers.

In this work As doped polysilicon was deposited onto (100) silicon wafers by APCVD at 660°C from a silane-arsine mixture, followed by a ten minute anneal at 1000°C, and in one case a further ten minute anneal at 700°C. Specimens for TEM and STEM analysis were prepared by chemical polishing. The microstructure, which is unchanged by the final 700°C anneal,is shown in Figure 1. It consists of numerous randomly oriented grains many of which contain twins.X-ray analysis was carried out in a VG HB5 STEM. As K α x-ray counts were collected from STEM scans across grain and twin boundaries, Figures 2-4. The incident beam size was about 1.5nm in diameter, and each of the 20 channels in the plots was sampled from a 1.6nm length of the approximately 30nm line scan across the boundary. The bright field image profile along the scanned line was monitored during the analysis to allow correlation between the image and the x-ray signal.
