Nickel silicidation techniques for strained Si1?xGex, Si1?x?yGexCy, and Si1?yCy alloys material-device applications

A nickel silicide process for Si_1-xGe_x, Si_1-x-yGe_xC_y, and Si_1-yC_y alloy materials compatible with Si technology has been developed. Low-resistivity-phase (12–20 μΘ cm) nickel silicides have been obtained for these alloys with different low sheet-resistance temperature windows. The study shows that thin (15–18 nm) silicide layers with high crystalline quality, smooth silicide surface, and smooth interface between silicide and the underlying material are achievable. The technique could be used to combine the benefits of Ni silicide and Si_1-xGe_x, Si_1-x-yGe_xC_y, and Si_1-yC_y alloys. The technique is promising for Si or Si_1-xGe_x, Si_1-x-yGe_xC_y, and Si_1-yC_y alloy-based metal-oxide semiconductor, field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) or other device applications.     

Photoluminescence characterization of UHV/CVD grown multi-quantum well structures

Ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition is particularly suitable for growth of band gap engineered Ge_xSi_1?x structures, since abrupt epilayers with a very high degree of uniformity can be obtained. We have grown multi-quantum well structures over a range of well widths and have characterized them by photoluminescence spectroscopy. We have observed prominent quantum well-related features that shift to higher energy in samples with narrower well widths. Spectra taken from various points on a 75 mm wafer show a maximum variation of ±3 meV in position of the no phonon peak in the 35Å well multi-quantum well sample.

Fabrication of high-Ge-fraction strained Si1−xGex/Si hole resonant tunneling diode using low-temperature Si2H6 reaction for nanometer-order ultrathin Si barriers

Low-temperature Si barrier growth with atomically flat heterointerfaces was investigated in order to improve negative differential conductance (NDC) characteristics of high-Ge-fraction strained Si_1−xGe_x/Si hole resonant tunneling diode with nanometer-order thick strained Si_1−xGe_x and unstrained Si layers. Especially to suppress the roughness generation at heterointerfaces for higher Ge fraction, Si barriers were deposited using Si₂H₆ reaction at a lower temperature of 400 °C instead of SiH₄ reaction at 500 °C after the Si_0.42Ge_0.58 growth. NDC characteristics show that difference between peak and valley currents is effectively enhanced at 11-295 K by using Si₂H₆ at 400 °C, compared with that using SiH₄ at 500 °C. Non-thermal leakage current at lower temperatures below 100 K tends to increase with decrease of Si barrier thickness. Additionally, thermionic-emission dominant characteristics at higher temperatures above 100 K suggests a possibility that introduction of larger barrier height (i.e. larger band discontinuity) enhances the NDC at room temperature by suppression of thermionic-emission current.     

Growth of SiGe Films by Cold-wall UHV/CVD Using GeH4 and Si2H6

An ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV/CVD) system is introduced.SiGe alloys and SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells (MQWs) have been grown by cold-wall UHV/CVD using disilane(Si2H6) and germane (GeH4) as the reactant gases on Si(100) substrates.The growth rate and Ge contents in SiGe alloys are studied at different temperature and different gas flow.The growth rate of SiGe alloy is decreased with the increase of GeH4 flow at high temperature.X-ray diffraction measurement shows that SiGe/Si MQWs have good crystallinity,sharp interface and uniformity.No dislocation is found in the observation of transmission electron microscopy(TEM) of SiGe/Si MQWs.The average deviation of the thickness and the fraction of Ge in single SiGe alloy sample are 3.31% and 2.01%, respectively.     

Oxidation characteristics of Si0.85Ge0.15 nanowires

Oxidation characteristics of Si_0.85Ge_0.15 nanowires were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. Si_0.85Ge_0.15 nanowires were grown in a tube furnace by vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) method and thermally oxidized at 925 °C for 1–8 h. After oxidation, oxide thicknesses were measured using TEM images. Si_0.85Ge_0.15 nanowires showed a thicker oxide than Si nanowires, for the whole range of oxidation time. The oxidation rate of Si_0.85Ge_0.15 nanowires significantly decreased in nanowires with diameters less than 150 nm. Long-term oxidation in Si_0.85Ge_0.15 nanowire resulted in the oxidation of germanium atoms.
