摘要
The stability of hydrogen plasma intensity generated by the ECR technique was investigated H-alpha intensity decreased with the increase of temperature of the chamber's inside wall. The square root of the H-alpha intensity and the etch rate of silicon were proportional to the microwave power. For the deposition of a crystalline silicon film the deposition rate increased with the increase of the hydrogen gas flow rate while for the case of an amorphous silicon film the deposition rate decreased. A silicon epitaxial film with excellent crystalline quality was successfully realized at 450 degrees C. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
