Abstract

Herein, we investigated the effects of processing conditions on the surface morphology of SiGe subjected to dry cleaning with NF3/H2O plasma, characterizing dry-cleaned samples by several instrumental techniques and revealing the generation of 80-250-nm-wide bumps on the SiGe surface. The formation of these bumps resulted in increased surface roughness and was found to be correlated with the H2O flow rate. Based on the above observations, an additional guideline for evaluating the SiGe cleaning process was proposed.
