Thermal Oxidation of Silicon

Modes of Thin Film Growth

(1) Volmer-Weber: (island growth):

M. Volmer and A. Weber, Z. Phys. Chem. 119, p. 277 (1926).

Formation of the oxide of silicon on the silicon surface is known as oxidation . Thermal Oxidation is characterized by high temperatures (900 - 1200 C) . Two main processes :
1 atm , 1000 C

(2) Frank-Van der Merwe: (layer growth; ideal epitaxy):

Dry Oxidation

Si(s) + O2 --> SiO2

F. C. Frank and J. H. Van der Merwe, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 198, p. 205 (1949).

Wet Oxidation

(3) Stranski-Krastanov: (layers + islands):

Si (s) + 2H2O --->SiO2 + 2H2

J. N. Stranski and L. Krastanov, Ber. Akad. Wiss. Wien 146, p. 797 (1938).

Dry oxidation produces a better (more dense) oxide as compared to wet oxidation.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)

(LTO) SiO2 is formed using three types of CVD Processes. APCVD ( Most commonly used method ), LPCVD and PECVD SiH4 + O2 : ----->SiO2 + 2H2 (240 - 550 C) (200 - 500 nm/min optimal) and (1400 nm/min possible). Deposition rate increases slowly with increased T (310- 450 C) Deposition rate can also be increased by increasing the O2 /SiH4 ratio APCVD : 325 C ratio 3:1 , 475 C ratio 23:1 , 550 C ratio 60: 1 LPCVD : 360 C ratio 1:1 , 450 C ratio 1.45 : 1 Deposition can occur in the APCVD as low as 130 C For LPCVD Window (100 - 330 C ) 2-12 torr and 14 nm/min at 300 C
