Abstract

We have grown dilute Si-C epitaxial layers on Si (100) substrates at 800°C with a RTCVD process using SiH4 and C3H8. C atoms can be kinetically stabilized in interstitial sites in the Si lattice at relatively high temperatures if process parameters, such as growth rate and C/Si flux ratio, are optimized.
