Model for Dopant and Impurity Segregation During Vapor Phase Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a new kinetic model for surface segregation during vapor phase growth that takes into account multiple mechanisms for segregation, including mechanisms for inter-layer exchange and surface diffusion. The resulting behavior of the segregation length shows temperature and velocity dependence, both of which have been observed in experiments. We compare our analytic model to experimental measurements for segregation of Phosphorus in Si(001), and we find an excellent agreement using realistic energies and pre-exponential factors for kinetic rate constants.

Kinetic Modeling of Dopant and Impurity Surface Segregation during Vapor Phase Growth: Multiple Mechanism Approach
We propose a new kinetic model for surface segregation during vapor phase growth that accounts for multiple segregation mechanisms, including mechanisms for terrace mediated exchange and step edge mediated exchange. The major result of the model is an analytic expression for the experimentally measured segregation length and profile broadening that can be readily calculated without the need for...
متن کاملImpurity Redistribution during Silicon Epitaxial Growth and Semiconductor Device Processing
A model has been developed that can account for both front and back "autodoping" effects during epitaxial growth as well as impurity redistribution during further high-temperature processing. The model incorporates three dopant fluxes, i.e., (i) the flux from the solid into the gas phase at the rear of the wafer, (ii) the flux from the solid to the front surface of the wafer, and (iii) the flux...
متن کاملVapor Phase Doping with N-type Dopant into Silicon by Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition
Atomic layer doping of phosphorus (P) and arsenic (As) into Si was performed using the vapor phase doping (VPD) technique. For increasing deposition time and precursor gas flow rate, the P and As doses tend to saturate at about 0.8 and 1.0 monolayer of Si, respectively. Therefore, these processes are self-limited in both cases. When a Si cap layer is grown on the P-covered Si(001), high P conce...
متن کاملAnalytical model for random dopant fluctuation in double-gate MOSFET in the subthreshold region using macroscopic modeling method
An analytical model is proposed for the random dopant fluctuation (RDF) in a symmetric double-gate metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect-transistor (DG MOSFET) in the subthreshold region. Unintended impurity dopants cannot be absolutely prevented during the device fabrication; hence, it is important to analytically model the fluctuations in the electrical characteristics caused by these impurit...
متن کاملDopant segregation in polycrystalline monolayer graphene.
Heterogeneity in dopant concentration has long been important to the electronic properties in chemically doped materials. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate that during the chemical vapor deposition process, in contrast to three-dimensional polycrystals, the substitutional nitrogen atoms avoid crystal grain boundaries and edges over micron length scales while distributing uniformly in ...
