[17p-C201-2] Low-Energy Silicon Molecular Ion Beam Production for SiO Film Formation
Keywords:silicon oxide, hexamethyldisiloxane, TEOS
Fragment ions produced from hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) in a Freeman-type ion source were studied using a low-energy mass-selected ion beam system. The mass numbers of the fragment ions were identified. Among those fragment ions, SiO+ ions from HMDSO and SiO3H3+ ions from TEOS were mass-selected. The ion energy was approximately 50 eV. Then, the ions were irradiated to substrates and resulting deposited films were analyzed. Following the completion of the ion irradiation experiment, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements of the films demonstrated the occurrence of silicon oxide deposition.
