无掩模硅图形衬底上3C-SiC的异质外延生长

采用低压化学气相沉积方法在无掩模的硅图形衬底上异质外延生长3C-SiC.硅图形衬底采用光刻和ICP刻蚀得到.图形由平行长条状沟槽和台面组成,其中沟槽宽度为1～10μm不同间隔,沟槽之间距离为1～10μm不同间隔.对于在不同的沟槽和台面尺寸区域3C-SiC的生长进行了详细研究.采用扫描电镜分别观察了不同区域的生长形貌,分析了图形衬底结构上SiC的生长行为.其中合并生长形成的空气隙结构可以释放由Si和SiC晶格失配引起的应力,从而可以用来解决SiC生长中的晶片翘曲问题,进行厚膜生长.XRD结果表明此无掩模硅图形衬底上得到3C-SiC(111)取向生长.

Heteroepitaxial Growth of 3C-SiC Films on Maskless Patterned Silicon Substrates

Heteroepitaxial growth of 3C-SiC on patterned Si substrates by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) has been investigated to improve the crystal quality of 3C-SiC films. Si substrates were patterned with parallel lines, 1 to 10μm wide and spaced 1 to 10μm apart, which was carried out by photolithography and reactive ion etching. Growth behavior on the patterned substrates was systematically studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An air gap structure and a spherical shape were formed on the patterned Si substrates with different dimensions. The air gap formed after coalescence reduced the stress in the 3C-SiC films, solving the wafer warp and making it possible to grow thicker films. XRD patterns indicated that the films grown on the maskless patterned Si substrates were mainly composed of crystal planes with (111) orientation.
