For the well-controlled growing in-situ heavily phosphorus doped polycrystalline Si films directly on Si wafer by reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition, a study is made of the two step growth. When in-situ heavily phosphorus doped Si films were deposited directly on Si (100) wafer, crystal structure in the film is not unique, that is, the single crystal to polycrystalline phase transition occurs at a certain thickness. However, the well-controlled polycrtstalline Si films deposited by two step growth grew directly on Si wafers. Moreover, the two step growth, which employs crystallization of grew directly on Si wafers. Moreover, the two step growth which employs crystallization of amorphous silicon layer grown at low temperature, reveals crucial advantages in manipulating polycrystal structures of in-situ phosphorous doped silicon.

Two step growth of reduced pressure chemical vapor eposition has been successfully developed to achieve in-situ phosphorus-doped silicon epilayers, and the characteristic evolution on their microstructures has been investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The two step growth, which employs heavily in-situ P doped silicon buffer layer grown at low temperature, proposes crucial advantages in manipulating crystal structures of in-situ phosphorus doped silicon. In particular, our experimental results showed that with annealing of the heavily P doped silicon buffer layers, high-quality epitaxial silicon layers grew on it. the heavily doped phosphorus in buffer layers introduces into native oxide and plays an important role in promoting the dispersion of native oxides. Furthermore, the phosphorus doping concentration remains uniform depth distribution in high quality single crystalline Si films obtained by the two step growth.

We studied phosphorus doping effect on the epitaxial growth of $Si_{1-x}Ge_{x}$ film with high Ge fraction on Si substates at 550.deg. C by LPCVD. In a low $Ph_{3}$ partial pressure region such as below 1.25 mPa, the phosphorus dopant concentration increased linearly with increasing $PH_{3}$ partial pressure while the deposition rate and the Ge fraction were constant. In a higher $PH_{3}$ partial pressure region, the phosphorus dopant concentration and the deposition rate decreased, while the Ge fraction slightly increased. The deposition arate and the Ge fraction increased with increasing $GeH_{4}$ partial pressure while the phophours dopant concentration decreased. But the increasing rate of Ge fraction with incrasing $PH_{3}$ partial pressure was reduced at a high $GeH_{4}$ partial pressure. According to test results, it suggests that high surface coverage of phosphorus atoms suppress both the $SiH_{4}$ adsorption/reasction and the $GeH_{4}$ adsorption/reaction on the surfaces, and the effect is more stronger on $SiH_{4}$ than on $GeH_{4}$. In a higher $PH_{3}$ partial pressure region, the epitaxial growth is largely controlled by surface coverage effect of phosphorus atoms. The phosphorus surface coverage was slimited at a high $GeH_{4}$ partial pressure because adsorbed Ge atoms effectively suppresses the adsorption of phosphorus atoms.

This paper presents results from experiments on laser-annealed SiGe-selective epitaxial growth (LA-SiGe-SEG). The SiGe-SEG technology is attractive for devices that require a low band gap and high mobility. However, it is difficult to make such devices because the SiGe and the highly doped region in the SiGe layer limit the thermal budget. This results in leakage and transient enhanced diffusion. To solve these problems, we grew in situ doped SiGe SEG film and annealed it on an XMR5121 high power XeCl excimer laser system. We successfully demonstrated this LA-SiGe-SEG technique with highly doped Ge and an ultra shallow junction on p-type Si (100). Analyzing the doping profiles of phosphorus, Ge compositions, surface morphology, and electric characteristics, we confirmed that the LA-SiGe-SEG technology is suitable for fabricating high-speed, low-power devices.

A possibility of work function engineering on ZnO thin film is studied by in-situ and ex-situ doping process. The work function of ZnO thin film decreases with increasing boron and phosphorus doping quantity. But, the work function of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin film increases as the boron doping quantity incresess. The range of work function change on ZnO thin films is 3.5 eV to 5.5 eV. This result shows that the work function of ZnO thin film is indeed engineerable by changing materials of dopants and their compositional distribution of surface. We also discuss the possible mechanism of work function engineering on ZnO thin films.
