<p>Method and apparatus of to obtain as-deposited polycrystalline and low-stress SiGe layers. These layers are used in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices or micromachined structures. Different parameters are analysed which effect the stress in a polycrystalline layer. The parameters include, without limitation: deposition temperature; concentration of semiconductors (e.g., the concentration of Silicon and Germanium in a SixGe1-x layer, with x being the concentration parameter); concentration of dopants (e.g., the concentration of Boron or Phosphorous); amount of pressure; and use of plasma. Depending on the particular environment in which the polycrystalline SiGe is grown, different values of parameters are used.</p> |
