Abstract

We have investigated the growth rate and boron doping of Sil-xGex epitaxial films grown by Limited Reaction Processing The growth experiments were carried out at a pressure of 6.0 torr with growth temperatures ranging from 625°C to 1000°C. The growth rate increases rapidly upon the additon of a small germane flow to the dichlorosilane in the reaction-rate-limited growth regime, and can not be explained simply by germanium incorporation. The presence of germane can increase the silicon growth rate by up to a factor of one hundred. Boron doping was also studied at high concentrations of boron in Si and Sil-xGex epitaxial films as a function of diborane flow and growth rate supports a simple kinetic model rather than an equilibrium model.
