    Notes: We have found that encapsulated thin Si films, adjacent to SiO2, are dissolved at elevated temperatures by a reaction: Si+SiO2→2SiO, with SiO diffusing through the silica network. The presence of SiO in SiO2 in a concentration ≤3 at. % has a profound effect on thermomigration of dopant impurities in the oxide. We propose a model for transport of As-, Sb-, P-, and Ge-rich precipitates, 50–1000 A(ring) in diameter, based on a reaction between SiO2 and the precipitates that is mediated by a catalytic influence of SiO molecules. Only in the presence of SiO are the bonds in the SiO2 network broken ahead of the drifting clusters and regrown behind them. The model predicts that the migration of precipitates is controlled by diffusivity of SiO in silica, consistent with the narrow range of drift velocities for clusters of different chemical compositions. The data also suggest that SiO2 dissociation at the Si/SiO2 interface is diffusion limited, which explains why decomposition of thin SiO2 in vacuum is spatially inhomogeneous, while thick films used in our experiments react uniformly.

    Notes: It is shown that P, Sb, and Ge ions implanted in SiO2 precipitate into spherical clusters of up to 1000 A(ring) diameter when heat treated in an oxygen-free ambient. This behavior is similar to that reported earlier for As implants. The clusters can be detected directly by transmission electron microscopy, or inferred from the unidirectional drift of the doped zone in a temperature gradient. Boron, a representative of group III, is the only element among those tested that does not migrate in a ∇T, suggesting the absence of phase separation.

    Notes: We demonstrate the utility of a temperature gradient ∇T in transporting dopants, such as As, unidirectionally through SiO2 and into Si. The transport, based on thermomigration of dopant-rich precipitates toward the heat source, turns oxide into an efficient diffusion source. It also provides the only possible method of forming buried n+ conductive layers in recrystallized, thick Si-on-SiO2 structures. To build such structures, arsenic is implanted into the oxide, where it remains trapped during deposition of polycrystalline Si and its recrystallization from the melt, but is subsequently released into the Si film by a directional drift in the ∇T. In the future, controlling dopant transport with two independent parameters (temperature and ∇T), instead of the temperature alone, may allow processing of three-dimensional circuits at higher temperatures than would be otherwise possible.

    Notes: We analyze experimentally unidirectional mass transport of As implanted into a SiO2 film covered with Si and heated to 1405 °C in a temperature gradient. The data can only be explained if we postulate that the thermomigration process is mediated by a flux of SiO molecules, flowing from the Si/SiO2 interfaces into the oxide. From the delay times before the onset of As drift, we estimate diffusivity of SiO at ∼4×10−13 cm2 /s at 1405 °C. The data also explain the apparent dichotomy between high-temperature dissociation of SiO2 , measured experimentally and predicted by thermodynamic arguments, and the ability to heat Si-coated SiO2 up to the melting point of Si at 1412 °C without any loss of the oxide integrity. The latter is possible because coated SiO2 saturates with SiO, resulting in steady-state conditions.

    Notes: We have constructed monolithic masks for proximity x-ray lithography by forming 1 μm thick polycrystalline Si membranes directly on glass support frames. Finished masks are 78 mm in diameter and ∼5 mm thick, with the Si membrane spanning 27 mm. The monolithic design provides simple processing and unprecedented flatness of 30 nm across the membrane and 〈500 nm across the entire disk. Mask blanks were metallized with 500 nm of W that was sputter deposited under conditions that hold the film stress 〈50 MPa. Tungsten was patterned by reactive ion etching to form features as small as 0.25 μm.
