摘要： An epitaxial deposition process including a dry etch process, followed by an epitaxial deposition process is disclosed. The dry etch process involves placing a substrate to be cleaned into a processing chamber to remove surface oxides. A gas mixture is introduced into a plasma cavity, and the gas mixture is energized to form a plasma of reactive gas in the plasma cavity. The reactive gas enters into the processing chamber and reacts with the substrate, forming a thin film. The substrate is heated to vaporize the thin film and expose an epitaxy surface. The epitaxy surface is substantially free of oxides. Epitaxial deposition is then used to form an epitaxial layer on the epitaxy surface.

摘要： A method for epitaxially forming a silicon-containing material on a substrate surface utilizes a halogen containing gas as both an etching gas as well as a carrier gas through adjustments of the process chamber temperature and pressure. It is beneficial to utilize HCl as the halogen containing gas because converting HCl from a carrier gas to an etching gas can easily be performed by adjusting the chamber pressure.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods for removing contaminants and native oxides from substrate surfaces. The methods generally include exposing a substrate having an oxide layer thereon to an oxidizing source. The oxidizing source oxidizes an upper portion of the substrate beneath the oxide layer to form an oxide layer having an increased thickness. The oxide layer with the increased thickness is then removed to expose a clean surface of the substrate. The removal of the oxide layer generally includes removal of contaminants present in and on the oxide layer, especially those contaminants present at the interface of the oxide layer and the substrate. An epitaxial layer may then be formed on the clean surface of the substrate.

摘要： Methods of depositing layers having reduced interfacial contamination are disclosed herein. The inventive methods may advantageously reduce contamination at the interface between deposited layers, for example, between a deposited layer and an underlying substrate or film. In some embodiments, a method of depositing a layer may include annealing a silicon-containing layer having a first layer disposed thereon in a reducing atmosphere; removing the first layer using an etching process to expose the silicon-containing layer after annealing; and depositing a second layer on the exposed silicon-containing layer.

摘要： Methods of selectively and epitaxially forming a silicon-containing material on a substrate surface contained within a process chamber are provided. In one or more embodiments, the pressure in the process chamber is reduced during deposition of material on the substrate and increased during etching of material from the substrate. According to an embodiment, process gases are flowed into the chamber through first zone and a second zone to provide a ratio of the amount of gas flowed to the first zone and the amount of gas flowed to the second zone. In one or more embodiments, the first zone is an inner radial zone and the second zone is an outer radial zone, and ratio of inner zone gas flow to outer zone gas flow is less during deposition than during etching. According to one or more embodiments, the selective epitaxial process includes repeating a cycle of a deposition and then an etching process, and an optional purge until the desired thickness of an epitaxial layer is grown.
