Abstract

In this work, the local-loading effect and its influence on the growth rate enhancement and the growth rate non-homogeneity is investigated during the halo-carbon low-temperature selective epitaxial growth (LTSEG) using an SiO2 mask. The average growth rate during the LTSEG can be more than three-times higher than in blanket epitaxy at the same growth conditions. Both the size of the LTSEG seed windows and the surrounding area covered with the mask determine the growth rate non-homogeneity. A model for predicting the growth rate distribution is suggested.
