    摘要: Cyclic deposit and etch (CDE) selective epitaxial growth employs an etch chemistry employing a combination of hydrogen chloride and a germanium-containing gas to provide selective deposition of a silicon germanium alloy at temperatures lower than 625° C. High strain epitaxial silicon germanium alloys having a germanium concentration greater than 35 atomic percent in a temperature range between 400° C. and 550° C. A high order silane having a formula of SinH2n+2, in which n is an integer greater than 3, in combination with a germanium-containing precursor gas is employed to deposit the silicon germanium alloy with thickness uniformity and at a high deposition rate during each deposition step in this temperature range. Presence of the germanium-containing gas in the etch chemistry enhances the etch rate of the deposited silicon germanium alloy material during the etch step.

    摘要: A method of depositing an epitaxial layer that includes chemically cleaning the deposition surface of a semiconductor substrate and treating the deposition surface of the semiconductor substrate with a hydrogen containing gas at a pre-bake temperature. The hydrogen containing gas treatment may be conducted in an epitaxial deposition chamber. The hydrogen containing gas removes oxygen-containing material from the deposition surface of the semiconductor substrate. The deposition surface of the semiconductor substrate may then be treated with a gas flow comprised of at least one of hydrochloric acid (HCl), germane (GeH4), and dichlorosilane (H2SiCl2) that is introduced to the epitaxial deposition chamber as temperature is decreased from the pre-bake temperature to an epitaxial deposition temperature. At least one source gas may be applied to the deposition surface for epitaxial deposition of a material layer.

    摘要: Semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrates including a buried oxide (BOX) layer having a thickness of less than 300 Å are provided. The (SOI) substrates having the thin BOX layer are provided using a method including a step in which oxygen ions are implanted at high substrate temperatures (greater than 600° C.), and at a low implant energy (less than 40 keV). An anneal step in an oxidizing atmosphere follows the implant step and is performed at a temperature less than 1250° C. The anneal step in oxygen containing atmosphere converts the region containing implanted oxygen atoms formed by the implant step into a BOX having a thickness of less than 300 Å. In some instances, the top semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate has a thickness of less than 300 Å.

    摘要: A method of removing a semiconductor device layer from a base substrate is provided that includes providing a crack propagation layer on an upper surface of a base substrate. A semiconductor device layer including at least one semiconductor device is formed on the crack propagation layer. Next, end portions of the crack propagation layer are etched to initiate a crack in the crack propagation layer. The etched crack propagation layer is then cleaved to provide a cleaved crack propagation layer portion to a surface of the semiconductor device layer and another cleaved crack propagation layer portion to the upper surface of the base substrate. The cleaved crack propagation layer portion is removed from the surface of the semiconductor device layer and the another cleaved crack propagation layer portion is removed from the upper surface of the base substrate.
