Abstract

Epitaxial Al(111) film was deposited on Si(lll) by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition with the use of tri-isobutyl aluminum (TIBA) at the substrate temperature of 400 °C with the deposition rate of 0.9 μm/min. It was necessary for epitaxy to preheat the TIBA gas just before the deposition on the substrate. The preheat was made by gas-temperature-controller provided in the chamber. The film surface was so smooth that reflectance was higher than 90 % of Si and 20 ppm of O, C, and H. No hillock appeared on the film after 430 °C annealing for 40 min. The interface of Al and Si was rather stable so that no alloy penetration occured. The possibility of epitaxial growth of Al(100) on Si(100) was also shown.
