In a method for use of x-ray diffraction to measure the strain on the top silicon germanium layer of an SOI substrate, the location of the peak diffraction area of an upper silicon layer of the SOI substrate is determined by first determining the peak diffraction area of the upper silicon layer on a reference pad (where the SOI thickness is about 700-900 Angstroms) within a die formed on a semiconductor wafer. The x-ray beam then moves to that location on the pad of interest to be measured and begins the XRD scan on the pad of interest to ultimately determine the strain of the top silicon germanium layer of the pad of interest

A compound that includes at least Si, N and C in any combination, such as compounds of formula (R—NH)4-nSiXn wherein R is an alkyl group (which may be the same or different), n is 1, 2 or 3, and X is H or halogen (such as, e.g., bis-tertiary butyl amino silane (BTBAS)), may be mixed with silane or a silane derivative to produce a film. A polysilicon silicon film may be grown by mixing silane (SiH4) or a silane derviative and a compound including Si, N and C, such as BTBAS. Films controllably doped with carbon and/or nitrogen (such as layered films) may be grown by varying the reagents and conditions.
