PECVD microcrystalline silicon germanium (SiGe) |
摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods for forming a SiGe layer. In one embodiment, a seed SiGe layer is first formed using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and a bulk SiGe layer is formed directly on the PECVD seed layer also using PECVD. The processing temperature for both seed and bulk SiGe layers is less than 450 degrees Celsius. |

1. A method for forming a silicon germanium layer, comprising:
depositing a seed silicon germanium layer over a substrate using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), wherein the substrate has a first temperature that is less than 450 degrees Celsius during processing, wherein the PECVD for depositing the seed silicon germanium layer has an RF power between about 300 W and about 600 W; and depositing a bulk silicon germanium layer directly on the seed silicon germanium layer using PECVD, wherein the substrate has a second temperature that is less than 450 degrees Celsius during processing, wherein the PECVD for depositing the bulk silicon germanium layer has an RF power between about 600 W and about 800 W. |
