Abstract
The paper describes growth of aluminum on a hydrogen terminated Si (100) su rface using dimethyl-ethyl amine alane. The growth rate depends on the subs trate temperature with an activation energy of 0.56 eV at the temperature r anging from 150 to 250 degrees C. Selective growth of Al into 1.5-mu m diam eter via-holes is successfully demonstrated at the substrate temperature of 150 degrees C. Tn situ FTIR measurements suggest that growth of Al occurs by the chemical reaction between AlH3 and a hydrogen terminated Si surface. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
