Abstract
We demonstrate epitaxial silicon growth of 8 A/s at temperatures as low as 195 degrees C, using hot-wire chemical vapor deposition. Characterization b y transmission electron microscopy shows epitaxial layers of Si. We briefly discuss various aspects of the process parameter space. Finally, we consid er differences in the chemical kinetics of this process when compared to ot her epitaxial deposition techniques. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics . [S0003-6951(99)04233-3].
