Abstract

Low temperature (<850°C) defect free selective silicon epitaxy has been achieved with a conventional barrel type reactor (base pressure -10−4 Torr) using complementary cleaning and growth processes: a wet multi-step oxidizing clean, and a novel non-steady state CVD growth process. With this combination of cleaning and growth processes, it is shown that the need for a high temperature (950-1000°C) insitu native oxide removal step, which may be incompatible with advanced VLSI process integration, is eliminated.
