Electrical characteristics of B atomic-layer doped Si epitaxial films on Si(1 0 0) formed by B atomic-layer formation on Si(1 0 0) at 180 °C and subsequent capping Si deposition at 500 °C using ultraclean low-pressure chemical vapor deposition were investigated. From evaluation results of carrier concentration in the films, by low-temperature SiH 4 exposure at 180–300 °C before the capping Si deposition at 500 °C, 70% improvement of B electrical activity was confirmed, and it is suggested that lowering the temperatures for B atomic-layer formation on Si(1 0 0) as well as SiH 4 exposure before the capping Si deposition is effective to suppress B clustering and to achieve B atomic-layer doped Si films with extremely high carrier concentration.
