Abstract

Pulsed ArF excimer laser (193 nm) photolysis has been used to deposit entirely amorphous and mixed amorphous/polycrystalline superlattice structures containing Si, Ge and Si3N4. High resolution in situ optical reflectivity measurements were used to monitor and/or control deposition. Transmission electron microscope cross-section views demonstrate that amorphous superlattice structures having highly reproducible layer thicknesses (from about 50 to several hundred A), and sharp interlayer boundaries, can be deposited at low substrate temperatures under laser photolytic control.
