Abstract
Chemical processes occurring in the vapor deposition of silicon from a mixture of bromosilanes (SiHBr3:SiBr4 = 1:4) with hydrogen gas have been monitored by means of online gas chromatography, and the obtained deposits were characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDX techniques. The deposition of silicon occurred at 900 ºC, accompanied by the larger consumption of SiBr4 than SiHBr3. The numerous rugged rod-like deposits of poly-silicon were grown appearing the crystal diffractions of (111), (220), (311), and (331) planes. The diameter of deposits mainly ranged from 2 to 4 um and their lengths extended to about 10 um.
