Pulsed supersonic jet epitaxy: A nonthermal approach to silicon growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter, we demonstrate a unique approach for low temperature epitaxial growth of single crystal silicon films on Si~100!. Pulsed supersonic jet epitaxy ~PSJE!, employs high kinetic energy jets of a disilane-hydrogen mixture incident on the surface leading to layer by layer growth. Precise control of film thickness and significantly higher sticking coefficients are demonstrated. Growth rate dependence of pulse frequency and its implications are discussed. We have been able to reproducibly deposit good quality single crystalline films at temperatures as low as 400 °C with this technique, without the use of any external activation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!03022-7#

In this work, we investigate the processes leading to the room-temperature growth of silicon carbide thin films by supersonic molecular beam epitaxy technique. We present experimental data showing that the collision of fullerene on a silicon surface induces strong chemical-physical perturbations and, for sufficient velocity, disruption of molecular bonds, and cage breaking with formation of nan...
متن کاملGrowth of hexagonal GaN thin films on Si(1 1 1) with cubic SiC buffer layers
The growth of GaN films on silicon or sapphire substrates has not been straightforward due to their large mismatch ('13%). SiC is structurally the closest material to GaN (especially cubic form) and has a small lattice mismatch (3.5%) between SiC and GaN, and therefore can be useful as the substrate for GaN. Single-crystal wafers of cubic SiC and GaN, however, are hard to obtain and have not be...

Proper estimation of droplet growth rate plays a crucial role on appropriate prediction of supersonic separators performance for separation of fine droplets from a gas stream. Up to now, all available researches employ empirical or semi-empirical correlations to define the relationship between droplet growth rate (dr/dt) and other operating variables such as temperatures (T and TL), Pressure (P...
متن کاملOptical investigations of surface processes in GaP heteroepitaxy on silicon under pulsed chemical beam epitaxy conditions*
Surface processes during the heteroepitaxy of GaP on Si under pulsed chemical beam epitaxy conditions were investigated simultaneously by the optical methods reflectance difference/anisotropy spectroscopy, p-polarized reflectance spectroscopy ~PRS!, and laser light scattering. Our studies were performed during both cyclic and interrupted growth, where the surface was exposed to individual pulse...
