Abstract
Oxygen incorporation in epitaxial silicon produced by molecular-beam epitaxy and boron doped by coevaporation of boric oxide has been investigated. The concentration of oxygen in the deposited layers was measured using secondary-ion mass spectrometry and shown to depend on a number of growth parameters. A reaction mechanism is proposed and is quantitatively modeled using a thermodynamic approach. A simple expression is given for determining the onset of oxygen incorporation.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
