[21p-135-4] Substrate orientation dependence of Si surface atomically-flattening by annealing in Ar/H2 ambient
Keywords:surface, atomically flattening, substrate orientation
This paper investigated substrate orientation dependence of Si surface atomically-flattening by annealing in Ar/H2 ambient used in Si(100) flattening reported before. Atomic step was observed not only for Si(100) but Si(111) by annealing at 1050oC/10 min in Ar/4%H2. The leakage current density of Al/SiO2/Si MOS diodes was found to be markedly decreased one order of magnitude by the Si surface flattening.
