Abstract

The silicon precursor neopentasilane is used to grow epitaxial silicon at high growth rates from 550 to 700°C, with rates over 100 nm/min achieved at 600°C. The layer quality as observed by TEM and the performance of FET's made in these films is high. Neopentasilane has also been used to grow dilute strained Si1-yCy alloys on silicon with very high growth rates. For carbon levels on the order of 2%, strained layers were grown at rates over 40 nm/min.
