Exclusive Feature: DEPOSITION

Using variance analysis to set up a BBr3
pre-deposition process

The diffusion process has generally been explained using Fick’s law without considering the effect of process gases. The amounts of pre-deposition gases, however, are critical with respect to uniformity and repeatability. Using experimental data and SPSS software, it is shown that sheet resistance depends on FN2, FO2, and FBBr3 for a BBr3 deposition process.

Several distinct methods of doping are in common use [1]. One of these methods is liquid source doping. In the pre-deposition process for BBr3, N2 is not only the carrier gas, but the bubbling gas. O2 and BBr3 are process gases and the chemical reactions are given by:

4BBr3 + 3O2 –> 2B2O3 +6Br2 (1)

2Br2O3 + 3Si –> 4B + 3SiO2 (2)
