Growth mechanism for thin autoepitaxial silicon layers grown in a low-temperature chloride process

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Electron-microscope investigations show that in the SiCl4,-H2 system at sufficiently high purity of the substrate surface and the gas-phase mixture in a low-temperature process, morphologically perfect epitaxial layers of silicon grow by a step-layer mechanism. Estimates are given for a number of parameters of the silicon-layer growth surface.
