Nanometric-size effect upon diffusion and reaction in semiconductors: experimental and theoretical investigations
The use of nanometric size materials as embedded clusters, nanometric films, nanocrystalline layers and nanostructures is steadily increasing in industrial processes aiming to produce materials and devices. This is especially true in today Si-based microelectronics with transistors made of a multitude of different thin film materials (B-, As-, and P-doped Si, NiSi(Pt), poly-Si, W, TiOx, LaO, Si...
متن کاملCharacterization of Atom Diffusion in Polycrystalline Si/SiGe/Si Stacked Gate
In the aggressive scaling of the gate dielectric thickness for continuous shrinkage of MOSFETs, a increase in the gate resistance emerges as one of major concerns from the viewpoint of eliminations in both the voltage drop through the gate under higher gate leakage current [1] and the gate depletion effect [2]. Especially, in case of poly-Si gate, with decreasing gate size, the gate depletion e...
متن کاملTEM study on the evolution of Ge nanocrystals in Si oxide matrix as a function of Ge concentration and the Si reduction process
Growth and evolution of germanium (Ge) nanocrystals embedded into a silicon oxide (SiO2) system have been studied based on the Ge content of co-sputtered Ge-SiO2 films using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that when the proportion of Ge relative to Ge oxide is 20%, TEM showed that annealing the samples at 800C for 60 min resulted in...
متن کاملA novel method for growing polycrystalline Ge layer by using UHVCVD
Poly-Ge grown on SiO2 substrates by using one-step ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) process with thin Si nucleation layers at very low deposition temperature (350 -C) was demonstrated. The results demonstrated that the polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) nucleation layer is needed for the growth of polycrystalline germanium (poly-Ge) on SiO2 substrates at low growth temperatur...
متن کاملAtomic Transport in Nano-crystalline Thin Films
Ge and B diffusion was studied in nano-crystalline Si, and Pd and Si self-diffusion was studied in nano-crystalline Pd2Si during and after Pd/Si reactive diffusion. These experiments showed that grain boundary (GB) diffusion kinetic is the same in microand nano-GBs, whereas triple junction (TJ) diffusion is several orders of magnitude faster than GB diffusion. In addition, GB segregation and GB...
