Abstract

Gas-phase and surface reactions of transported species decomposed on the catalyzer were investigated in catalytic CVD (Cat-CVD), often called hot-wire CVD, using a specially designed reactor tube. The phenomena were comparatively studied using H2- or He-diluted SiH4. It turned out that the control of gas flow through the catalyzer between the gas showerhead and the substrate is a key factor to obtain high uniformity in not only the film thickness but also the crystallinity for Si films prepared by Cat-CVD using the gas pressure above about 10 Pa and the gas-flow velocity faster than several m/s.
