Hydrogen/Chlorine Distributions in Silicon Dioxide: Detection and Model
SourceSecondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and electron microscopy have been used to investigate the distribution of hydrogen and chlorine in SiO2 films thermally grown on silicon. These films have been grown in various ambients, including pure O2, steam, HCl/O2, and Cl2/O2, as well as HCl/O2 mixtures diluted with N2. The data suggest that there exists a strong interaction between the chlorine and the hydrogen, with the chlorine being a very effective gettering agent for hydrogen. The results of this investigation, as well as a model explaining the incorporation and distribution of the hydrogen and chlorine, are presented.
