Abstract
In this study, the effect of deposition conditions and the temperature thermal treatment on the oxide parameters of two structures of silicon layers were investigated. The study present the evolution of boron profiles following a dry thermal oxidation in poly-Si/SiO2/c-Si films deposited at 520°C and 605°C temperatures and thermally oxidized in dry oxygen at respectively temperature 840°C, 945°C and 1050°C for tr=1h33’duration. The results show that the deposition conditions and the temperature treatment make a very important impact on the obtained films, which affect the redistribution and localization of dopants. It has been observed that the obtained value of the linear and the parabolic rate constant, the diffusion coefficient and the oxidation thickness are higher in the films deposited at Td = 520°C than those deposited at Td = 605°C. Also, the X-ray diffraction is strongly affected by the oxide thickness deposited between poly-silicon layers and crystalline substrates.
