Abstract

In this paper, cross-sectional TEM is used to investigate the quality of silicon epitaxial films grown by ultra-low pressure chemical vapor deposition at 750°C. The dislocation density and epi.- substrate interface width were investigated for different predeposition Argon sputter cleaning condltions. Epitaxial films with dislocation densities of less than 10 cm−2 and interfacial width of about 13 Å were obtained.
