Abstract

Silicon epitaxial growth on silicon wafers were investigated by using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition from SiH4/He/H2. The epitaxial layers were growm at temperatures of 350°C or lower. The base pressure of the chamber was greater than 2 × 10−5 Torr. Prior to epitaxial growth, the wafer was in-situ cleaned by H2 baking for 30 min. The epi/substrate interface and epitaxial layers were observed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). Finally, the influence of the ex-situ and in-situ cleaning processes on the qualities of the interface and epitaxial layers was discussed in detail.
