摘要
Ultra High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition (UHV/CVD) is carried out to deposit silicon. The deposition is carried cut in the temperature scope of 550 to 800 degrees C. Electrochemical etching is used to test the defects in epitaxial films. Two different ways of etching were performed to validate the thin film etching,. The results is, almost the same. The defects are visible by the microscope at about 600 (x). It is found that the film quality is good in two extreme temperature scopes, i.e. 500 to 700 degrees C and above 750 degrees C, which was also observed by other authors. The defect density is estimated to be in the order of 10(6) to 10(8) cm(-2), including line defects, even micro defects because of the poor environment cleanliness.
