Abstract
B atomic-layer doping in Si/Si1 - xGex(100) (x = 0.3, 1) heterostructure utilizing BCl3 reaction on Si1 - xGex(100) and subsequent Si epitaxial growth by SiH4 reaction was investigated by ultraclean low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. On 1/3-1/2 atomic layer (2.3-3.5 × 1014 cm- 2) B formed Si1 - xGex(100) achieved self-limitedly with high Cl coverage, the adsorbed Cl atoms are effectively removed by SiH4 exposure at 300 °C after BCl3 exposure. Furthermore, it was found that the SiH4 reaction at 300 °C on Ge(100) is enhanced by B adsorption.
