Abstract
The deposition of polycrystalline and amorphous silicon from SiH4-H2 and SiH4-CH4- H2 system has been studied. Deposition temperature between 600 and 850°C have been used in a atmospheric pressure reactor. It is found that the deposition rate of silicon in SiH4-CH4-H2 system is reduced by about half SiH4-H2 system. Therefore, to investigate the effect of CH4 in silicon deposition we describe numerical models of the gas-phase hydrodynamics and chemical kinetics. The chemical kinetic model, which includes a 16-step elementary reaction mechanism in SiH4-H2 system and a 32-step in SiH4-CH4-H2 system for the thermal decomposition of silane, predicts chemical species concentration profiles and fluid dynamical simulation predicts gas-phase temperature and velocity profiles. The chemical kinetic calculations indicate significant differences in the levels of silicon species for SiH4-H2 system versus SiH4-CH4-H2 system and decomposition of SiH2 is important in describing silicon chemical vapor deposition.
