AbstractAnisotropic etching of n+ poly-Si is achieved using a hot Cl2 molecular beam and a sidewall protection technique. A hot molecular beam is produced by a free jet expansion of a gas heated in a furnace. A nitrogen radical beam is used to prevent the sidewall etching. The etch rate of n+ poly-Si is 4.3 nm/min at the anisotropic etching condition.

Molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is potentially an extremely valuable tool for growing III-V compounds. The value of the technique results partly from the ease with which controlled layers of precisely determined composition can be grown, and partly from the ability that it provides for growing accurately doped layers.

ABSTRACTGaAs Has Been Grown By Molecular-Beam Epitaxy (MBE) With Large Concentrations (∼1018CM−2) Of Sn, Si, Ge, And Mn As Dopants. The Heavily-Doped N-Type Material Has Been Found To Contain Regions Of A Very High Dislocation Density. An Analysis Of The Less Complex Defect Areas Shows That The Dislocations Originate In The MBE-Grown Layer. These Observations And Others On More Complex Defect Clusters Are Compared With Recent Studies Of Defects In Material Grown By Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE). The More Heavily Doped P-Type Material Contains Discs Of Mn-Rich Material At The Surface Of The MBEgrown Epilayer. Both The Structure And Composition Of These Regions Have Been Examined.

A theoretical model is described which can be used to calculate the velocity distribution function in the transition region of a free jet expansion. It makes use of a simple mechanism to account for the way in which collisions "perturb" the distribution function which would apply in the absence of collisions. The results are compared with experimental studies of argon beams isolated from free jet sources. If the collision frequency is calculated using a hard sphere collision cross section of (25 ± 5) Å2, good agreement with experimental beam intensity profiles is obtained. In the transition region computed values of the bulk mass velocity, and of the parallel and perpendicular temperatures, are intermediate between the values which would be found if the flow were collision-dominated or free molecular. In particular the perpendicular temperature varies slowly from a dependence on the −4/3 power of the distance from the source, approaching monotonically a −2 power dependence at large distances.

ABSTRACTPrecise control of critical dimension(CD) loss (defined as the length of the top of contact hole minus the bottom of resist in this paper) and etched profile of contact holes is a key technology in the fabrication of Ultra Large Scaled Integrated Circuit(ULSI). In case of fine contact hole etching, small CD loss and vertical profile is essential. We have found out that N2 addition to Ar/CHF3/CF4 sharpens etched profile with CD loss kept small. And N2 addition also increases etch rate without a heavy deterioration of selectivity of SiO2 versus heavily doped n-type poly cry stall ine Si(n+ poly Si). Mechanisms of changes in etching characteristics have been investigated and discussed with the emphasis on adlayer formed on etched surface.

ABSTRACTA unique process for texturing InP (100) wafers by anisotropic etching has been developed. The process produces irregular V-grooves on the surface, which reduce the surface reflectivity. The process does not require photolithography or masking. The etching characteristics depend on doping, with etching tending to proceed more rapidly on the more heavily doped samples. Reduced reflectivity surfaces formed using this process can be applied to solar cells, photodetectors, and other optoelectronic devices.
