Abstract

A low temperature process of silicon carbide deposition using the pyrolysis of di-tert-butylsilane has been explored for formation of emitter structures in silicon heterojunction bipolar transistors. Near stoichiometric amorphous silicon carbide films were achieved at 775°C. Doping and annealing of these films resulted in resistivity as low as 0.02 ohm-cm.
