K. Fujino et al., STEP COVERAGE ANALYSIS FOR HEXAMETHYLDISILOXANE AND OZONE ATMOSPHERIC-PRESSURE CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION, JPN J A P 2, 33(3B), 1994, pp. 120000473-120000475
Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and ozone atmospheric pressure chemical v
apor deposition (AP CVD) presents good step coverage. Silicon trench s
tep coverage has been analyzed for this CVD using a one-dimensional ga
s diffusion model. The calculated step coverage exhibited the best fit
when the sticking probability of HMDSO molecules is 0.002, causing th
e good step coverage. The gas phase concentration profiles were calcul
ated using numerical simulation. The estimation of the rate-determinin
g step indicated that HMDSO diffusion limited the CVD reaction rate an
d HMDSO itself participated directly in film formation.
