[15p-B10-12] Rate Theory of Silicon Epitaxial Growth in SiHCl3-SiHx-H2 system
Keywords:Silicon epitaxy, SiHx, Surface chemical process
The rate equation of silicon epitaxial growth rate in SiHCl3-SiHx-H2 system was obtained taking into account the elemental chemical reactions occurring at the surface in a steady state. The growth rate behavior predicted by the equation agreed with the measurement. The surface chemical reactions are considered to help exceeding the saturation of silicon epitaxial growth rate in SiHCl3-H2 system.
