Radially non-uniform interaction of nitrogen with silicon wafers
Reproducible and pronounced ring-like structures have been revealed on both sides of commercial grade wafers after certain regimes of annealing in pure nitrogen atmosphere at 1200 °C. To minimize residual oxyg...

SiGe Heteroepitaxy for High Frequency Circuits
We have determined the process capability of Low Pressure (Rapid Thermal) Chemical Vapor Deposition (LP(RT)CVD) of epitaxial Si/SiGe/Si stacks for heterojunction bipolar transistors (HIBTs). The transistor par...

On the Impact of Grown-in Silicon Oxide Precipitate Nuclei on Silicon Gate Oxide Integrity
Small point defect clusters grown-in during Czochralski (Cz) crystal pulling can have an important impact on gate oxide integrity (GOI) for present day high quality silicon substrates. A pronounced effect of t...

Defect-Engineered Graded GexSi1-x Buffers on Si (001) with Extreme Low Threading Dislocation Density
Stepwise equilibrated graded GexSii-x (x≤0.2) buffers with threading dislocation densities between 102 and 103 cm−2 on the whole area of 4 inch silicon wafers were grown and studied by transmission electron micro...

On the Recombination Activity of Oxygen Precipitation Related Lattice Defects in Silicon
The recombination activity of oxygen precipitation related lattice defects in p- and n-type silicon is studied with photoluminescence (PL) and microwave absorption (MWA) techniques. A direct correlation is obs...

Cu precipitation in oxidized wafers with and without a GexSi1−x heteroepitaxial layer
Copper silicide precipitation in Czochralski silicon influenced by the existence of a GexSi1−x heteroepitaxial layer has been studied. Samples with and without a 100 nm Ge0.016Si0.984 heteroepitaxial layer were a...

How CVD SI/GE Layer Growth is Controlled by Each one of the Reaction gas Components
Applying the previously derived "Three-Partial-Rates" model, CVD-Si/Ge-thin film growth and composition is described as influenced by the partial pressures of silane, germane, and hydrogen chloride. The effect...
