Deposition Profile Simulation: Topological Effects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
There is a considerable amount of evidence for the dependence of microstructure and surface morphology of films obtained by conventional thermally activated chemical vapor deposition on mass transport phenomena. This paper addresses the simulation of the influence of conveclive-diffusivc transport phenomena as well as homogeneous reactions on the deposition profile of silicon films in the case of some characteristic topological effects. For that purpose, the Si-H chemical system including both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions is used. The evolution of the deposition profile during vapor growth is simulated for various surface defects such as a step or a trench. The influence of basic processing parameters such as temperature or flowrate is discussed.
