Chapter 1 deals with the computer generation of Kikuchi patterns needed for complex structural analysis of crystal defects in silicoi. The program is applicab;« to a large variety of problems and can be used to generate KikucKi maps for different crystal structures, earh desired crystal orientation, and electron enerqy. The program can also be used to generate channeling patterns for scanning electron microscopy application. The report provides a complete set of computer gt.ierated Kikuchi maps for silicon ard 200 keV electrons. A complete program in Fortran IV using an IBM 1800 computer is also given. The second part describes the application of MOS C-V and MOS G-V measurements for the evaluation of epitaxial films on silicon or inrulator substrates. It is shown that the presence of an underlying junction requires important precautions with use of the MOS C-V measurement technique. The junction requires an increased number of components in the equivalent network, which impedes the analysis. This chapter shows how to solve the problem. Values for MOS dot diameter, layer and substrate resistivity, oxide thickness, etc. are given and refer to ranges wwere meaningful lifetime measurements can be carried out.

SUMMARY

This report summarizes work done during the contract period

of January i, 1975 to June 30, 1975. It describes research

programs dealing with improvements of advanced measurement

tacnniques. Such improvements became imperative during the

course of the contract work and are needed for subsequent

structural and electrical characterization of impact sound

stressed (ISS'ed) silicon wafers before and after oxidation

and epitaxy.

The first chapter advances the analytical capabilities of

transmission electron microscopy through the application of

computer-generated Kikuchi patterns. Kikuchi lines in

electron diffraction patterns are used for complex crystal

defect analysis basr.d on two-beam orientation of the specimen

Since our Hitachi microscope permits seeing only about 4° of

a diffraction pattern it is impossible to index Kikuchi

lines without a detailed Kikuchi map. Therefore it was

necessary to computer-generate Kikuchi plots. A program for

the generation of such plots was written. The program was

used to generate Kikuchi maps for the three main orientations

(001), (Oil) and (Ul) for Si and 200 keV electrons.

An additional benefit of this computer program is

that it is applicable to a large variety of problems.

By changing proper parameters the same program can be

used to generate maps for all kinds of crystal structures,

each desired crystal orientation, electron energy,

crystallographic order and maximum index-number of lines.

The program considers also parameters such as map-scales

and camera le-.igth of the microscope.

In addition the pr^jtrim can be used to compute and print out

channeling patterns used for crystal orientation analysis

in the scanning electron microscope. The report provides

a complete set of Kikuchi maps for silicon and 200 keV

electrons as well as the complete program to generate other

patterns.

The second part of the report describes the application of

MGS C-V measurements to the evaluation of epitaxial silicon

films on silicon or Insulator substrates. It is shown that

the presence of a semiconductor junction under the MOS struc-

ture requires certain considerations to be made if meaningful

measurements are to be obtained. The junction requires an

increased number of components in the equivalent network,

which Impedes the analysis.

A solution to this problem Is given. If jne side of the

Junction Is o. <dized, a q-.asl MOS structure Is obtained. The

equivalent network of such a structure is discussed and the

conditions for MOS C-V and G-V measurements are given. When

the MOS admittance can be measured the following Information

can be obtained:

1. Surface-state density, the corresponding

capture cross sections, the charge density

In the oxide, and deep energy levels.

2. The doping concentration

3. The minority carrier lifetime.

The discussion concentrates on the measurement of minority

carrier lifetime In epitaxial silicon films. Values for

layer and substrate resistivity, dot diameter, oxide thickness,

etc., are given to establish the range for this "Quasi MOS

Capacitance Technique."

COMPUTER GENERATION CF KIKUCHI MAPS FOR TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (TEM) AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM) INVESTIGATIONS

by H. Kappert

INTRODUCTION

Electron diffraction patterns of samples of very good

crystalline perfection and of a thickness such that inelastic

scattering of electrons is fairly high, show a distinct line

structure superimposed on the background intensity. This line

pattern is known as the Kikuchi pattern. A similar pattern (known

as Coates or channeling pattern) appears in the SEM when the

intensity of the backscattered electrons is recorded as an

angular dependence of the incoming beam in reference to the

sample orientation.

Several applications of the TEM technique such as Burgers vector

determination, crystal orientation determination, md indexing of

unknown spot pattern make use of such Kikuchi patterns (1-8).

For such applications it is convenien: to have Kikuchi maps which

show the geometrical configuration of the pattern and give the

indices of all lines in it.

One way to obtain such maps is to take many images in the

TEM of overlapping parts of the diffraction pattern for different

tilt angles of the specimen and assemble these images in a

composite map. Another way is to generate plots of indexed

Kikuchi maps through a computer. The advantage of the second

way is that once a program is available it is very easy to

select any desired crystalline structure, sample orientation,

dil F2rent wavelength of electrons or even x-rays, scale of

map, or order of >xkuchi lines, just by changing some parameters

in the program.

To generate Kikuc.ii maps ver> good irstructions can be found

in the literature (U,7,9). We followed mainly the recipe

given by C. T. Young and J. L. Lytton (9).

GEOMETRY

Kikuchi lines are originated by inelastically scattered

electrons in the sp^^'men. The energy losses of these electrons

are small enough tha^ they still can be considered coherent,

but they have changed direction in reference to the primary

elecl^on beam. Therefore, in spite of the primary beam being off

Bragg angle e for a certain set of net planes, a particular

fraction of the inelastically scattered electrons makes a Bragg

reflection at these planes, e.g., (h, k, 1) in Fig. 1. This can

be regarded as a virtual incoming electron beam for

each set of net planes, which is split below the specimen into

a transmitted and a diffracted part. We find this situation

not only in the plane that corresponds to the plane of the

drawing in Fig. 1 but in all directions whenever the Bragg

condition la satisfied for the (h, k, 1) plar.M. Therefore

all the directions of the particular fraction of elastically

scattered electrons in Bragg conditions for a certain set

of net planes (h, k, 1) are represented by a cone (Fig. 2),

wh^re the cone axis is in the direction of the plane normal

(h, k, 1) and the half opening angle is 9Oo-0 'Kossel cone).

The same geometry can be used for channeling patterns ir the

SEM. In the SFM the primary beam itself has to be tilxed along

a cone surface to get a signal of the backscattered electrons

with less • more intensity than tor 1 ^e background intensity

that appears as dark or bright lines on the TV display.

The real Kikuchi line patte n is th( intersection of all

the cones produced by the different sets of net planes, with the

image plane in the TEM below the specimen. The real channeling

pattern is the intensity modulation of the backscattered

electrons above the sample, as seen by the collector and

displayed on the TV screen, dependent on the tilt angle of

the primary beam in reference to the sample orientation.

The usual way to generate Kikuchi and channeling maps is

to make a stereographic projection of all the cones, which are

thus represented as circles on the projection sphere (Fig. 2).

This may be done because the projection keeps the angles

between intersecting lines or circles on the sphere constant,

results in only small distortions of the distances especially

close to the center pole , and has the advantage .hat

standard stereographic pole maps can be used for indexing

purposes. The stereographic projection of the intersecting

lines of the diffraction cones with the projection sphere

appears as circles in the projection plane, which are called

Kikuchi circles. The radius and center of each Kikuchi

circle has to be calculated. Subsequently the part of the

circle that is within the plotting area hat to be determined

and to be drawn.

ORIENTATION

Standard stereographic projections are made from G to 0 and

are observed from the top, as shown in Fig. 3. The channeling

patterns in the SEM are observed in the same way. To find

the correct orientation between standard stereographic pole

maps, channeling map and channeling pattern on the screen,

we have only to consider which lenses are used to focus the

primary beam onto the sample surface and how the tilt angle

is related to the TV display.

The G to 0 direction of the standard stereographic projection,

as shown in Fig. 3, is just the opposite to the direction

in which the electrons go in the TEM to form the Kikuchi

pattern on the screen. One gets around this orientation problem

by turning the projection upside down (1). Therefore

standard stereographic projections have to be inverted

for indexing purposes. Another possibility s to use the

standard stereographic projection without inversion. This

requires an adjustment of the Kikuchi maps such that the indexed

reflections in the diffraction pattern correspond to the planes in

the crystal. From the geometry shown in Fig. 2, one can see that the

cone representing the directions of diffracted electrons

intersects the projection sphere at the lower hemisphere as

well as at the upper hemisphere. A downward projection—that

is, the unconventional projection from 0 to G (Fie. 3)--

would result in the real Kikuchi map as seen on the

TEM screen.

An upward projection—that is, the conventional stereographic

projection from G to 0 (Fig. 3)--results in the same

map, except that this one is rotated by 180° in reference to the

real Kikuchi pattern on the TEM screen. To do it this way

was recently proposed by Head et al. (10)• We decided to use

this method because a rotation of 180° is more convenient than a

mirror ii.version, and we can use standard stereographic

projections as in x-ray studies.

The correct orientation between the sample, the TEM

micrograph, the diffraction pattern, standard pole map

and Kikuchi map is found as follows:

1. Consider the rotation between micrograph and

diffraction pattern that depends on the number of

lenses used and their excitation.

2. Orient the Kikuchi plot ■'"he same way as the TEM

Kikuchi pattern and take negative val les of the

pole indices as plotted in the map.

3. Rotate a standard stereographic pole map with the same center

pole as the Kikuchi plot by 180° in reference to the pole

map plotted within the Kikuchi map.

To avoid any other inversion or rotation we have to use both

negatives and prints of the micrograph as recorded in the

TEM on the screen.

THE PROGRAM

The program is written in Fortran IV for an IBM 18Q0 computer.

The time used to generate one plot depends on the number of

lines that have to be plotted. For example, the plot shown in

Fig. M takes less time than the plot shown in Fig. 6, ^ "lere

higher order and higher index lines appear. The time for the

plot in Fig. 6 was about 50 min. The attached program was

used for this plot. Figures 6-11 show different plots

generated with the same program when parameters used are as

described in each figure caption.

Steps of the program:

1- Selection of diffraction planes

The usual structure factor equation:

n F = Z f. exp C2W (u. h + u. k + w. 1]

j=l - J D 3 (1)

is used to calculate the structure factors for silicon so

that the planes can be selected which give the Bragg

reflections. For this calculation the coordinates u, v, w of

the position of the 8 atoms in the Si unit cell have to be put

into (1). The Bragg equation is used in the form

is used where (h3, k3, 13) = (X31, X32, X33). The other

vectors (h1, k^, 1-) and (h2, k2, 12) have to be chosen in

accordance with a right-handed Cartesian system.

si = hi + ki + lr

3. Rejection of high-index and high-order planes

Planes of high-index numbers larger than a maximum number

y2 2 2" h + k + 1 have to be rejected; the same is true for

planes of higher order than maximum order RMN.

■+. CalculdLJon of coordinates in the projection plane

The coordinates of one intersection point of the diffraction

cone with the projection sphere have to be calculated. For

this purpose spherical polar coordinates are introduced. Then

the calculation of the coordinates within the projection plane

has to be performed by the equation

Px = 2R tan y/2 (p '2 + p '2 1/2

x y

P = 2R tan y/2 (p '2 + p '.1/2

y y

(4)

where Y = cos (P /R) , as can be seen from Fig. 3

5. Determination of the radius and center of the

Kikuchi circle

From Fig. 3 it can be deduced that the radius of the

Kikuchi circle is

CA = 1/2 (BO + OA)

and the coordinates of the circle center C are

(5)

CX = Px (CO/PO)

CY ■ P (C^/PÖ)

&. Provision for an (x,y) array for the plot

Only a small part of the Kikuchi circle in an area with

radius RI=SQRT (XO x XO + YO x YO) around the center pole

has to be plotted. Therefore it has to be checked whether a

particular Kikuchi circle has a part of it insice this

area. Then the circle equation

[X - CX]2 + CY - CY]2 = R2 = [CA] (6)

is used to provide an array of 50 (x,y) pairs for the plotter.

7. Plotting section

A final check is made to find out which values of the array

are inside the plotting square given by XO and YO. The

slope of the lines near the border of this square is determined

in order to plot the indices of this Kikuchi line pair at

the end of the line with the same slope.

8. Plotting the pole map

An extra program was written to produce pole maps of the

same scale as the Kikuchi map. The steps are essentially similar

to steps 2, 3, and 4 above.

RESULTS

The size of each plot is about 24 x 24 cm2, which is the maximum

usable size of the plotter used. The numbers inside the map

represent the indices of the pole where the location is indicated

by a +. The numbers outside the map represent the indices of a

certain Kikuchi line pair. The indices are plotted at one end of the

respective Kikuchi line with the same slope as the lines

at this end. Figures 4, b, 6, and 7 represent (001), (Oil), and (111)

Kikuchi maps with the same scale for Si with 200 keV electrons.

Figures 8, 10, and 11 again represent <001)1 (011), and (111)

Kikuchi maps for Si with 200 keV electrons but for about three

times larger scale and with higher-order and higher-index lines.

Figure 5 is a larger scale plot of the lower-right quadrant of

Fig. 4; and Fig. 9 is the same plot as Fig. 8 but with 30 keV

electrons and can be used as a map for channeling pattern

for the Sli. Figure 12 gives several examples of Kikuchi poles

as shown on the maps and in the TEM.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF QUASI MOS STRUCTURES ON SILICON

by

W. R. Fahrner, E. F. Gorey, and C. P. Schneider

INTRODUCTION

Junctions are present In Important devices, e.g., In burled-

channel charge-coupled devices (CCDs) or In silicon on sapphire

(SOS)-based Integrated circuits. In order to optimize the

performance of such a device—speed, transfer efficiency, etc.--

the characterization of the electrical properties of the material

Is desirable. For homogeneous silicon, there are some standard

techniques based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitance

measurements for this purpose. The presence of underlying

Junctions requires Important precautions to be made with the

us« of MOS-CV measurement techniques.

Owing to the Junction, the number of components of the equivalent

network Increases and the analysis Is Impeded. It will be

shown In this paper how this problem can be solved. When one

side of a Junction described above Is oxidized, a quasi MOS

structure results. The equivalent network of such a structure

Is discussed In this paper, and the conditions for MOS C-V

and G-V measurements are given. In the case where the MOS

admittance can be measured, the following Information ctn be

ob talned :

1. The surface-state density N (1), the corresponding s s

capture cross sections (2), the charge density in the

oxide (3), and deep energy levels (4).

2. The doping concentration ND.

3. The lifetime of the minority carriers (5).

Measurements on epitaxial Junctions according to (3) have

already been carried out (6) without an adequate the retical

basis.

In this investigation, we are primarily interested in the

measurement of lifetime, since this parameter is more sensitive

to defects and impurities in the crystal than any other '.lectrical

parameter (7). Thus, in the section "Range of Quasi MO 3

Capacitance Technique," the values for layer and substrate

resistivity, dot diameter, oxide thickness, etc., refer to

ranges in which such lifetime measurements can be carried out.

ANALYSIS OF EQUIVALENT NETWORK

In Fig. 1, a cross section of an oxidized n epitaxial layer on

a p' substrate is shown. The network of the structure consists

of the oxide capacitance C , the distributed layer resistance

R of the n-layer, the distributed Junction admittance

Y » G + Jw CT, and the distributed substrate resistance Rs. J J J

area with a spacing of 8 mm is diffused into the substrate

prior to epitaxy. The doping profiles underneath A (off the

buried layer) and B (on the buried layer) are obtained by

the spreading resistance technique (Fig. 2). The C-V curves

for two dots off the buried layer are shown in Fig. 3. The

2 dots have areas of 0.01765 and 0.00196 cm . The same

measurements are repeated for a <115> and a <100> oriented

wafer with epitaxial layer resistivity of approximately

0.9 ohm-cm and of approximately 4-ym epitaxial thickness. The

substrate resistivity is 8 and 6 ohm-cm respectively (Fig. 4a b).

In these wafers, no buried layer is present.

The analysis of the data given in Fig. 3 reveals that the

measured low-frequency capacitance in accumulation is identical

with the oxide capacitance. This is confirmed through measure-

ments on control wafers, by measuring the oxide thickness and

the capacitances for different dot areas and comparing the

ratios with the area ratios.

The dc voltage drop (v ) across the junction is 0 since there

is no dc current flow through the MOS structure.

The ac admittance is given by Gj (Vj) + juCj (Vj) with Vj = 0.

G can be derived as Gj - dlj/dVj " I0 x (q/kT) x exp (qVj/kT).

In anticipation of the results, the lifetime of the epitaxial

layer (which is heavily doped compared with the substrate and

can be expected to give the major contribution to the dark

current) is measured now to be approximately 1 psec. With this

explain why a voltage-independent accumulation capacitance is

measured over the usual frequency and bias range. The validity

The bulk resistance R of the substrate can be neglected as

long as the resistivity is not too large. Experimentally, the

upper limit was found to be approximately 50-100 ohm-cm and is

theoretically given by the comparison of the RC time constant

with the measurement frequency of 1 MHz.

This gives R - 159 ohms. For the case of a buried layer

(Note that in Fig. 2 the buried layer extends into the

Since the time constant of the surface states is usually

observed in the kHz range, G(V) and r u) measurements (2) are

also feasible. (A G(V) and a G((JO) curve is a plot of the total

conductance G vs voltage or frequency at a fixed

frequency or voltage respectively.) This is roughly checked

by measuring G(V) in the kHz range. The typical peak due to

surface states and its shift with frequency is observed.

SPREADING RESISTANCE VS DOT DIAMETER

For frequencies co < 1/RC , the equlootentlal lines of the n — ox ^ r

can assume a disk-like volume representing the epitaxial layer,

In which the current flows (Fig. 5b). The voltage v Is

As a result, one obtains an Increase of the spreading

resistance for smaller dot diameters. For the epitaxial wafers

of Figs. 2 and 3, we are not able to observe this change, first

because the spreading resistance Is too small, second, because

the existence of the junction and oxide capacitance heavily

Interferes with the assumption of a simple radial current.

For the SOS wafers shown here, however, the effect Is clearly

visible. For an oxide of 1300 X, and an \ lO-ym-thlck

epitaxial layer of 1 ohm-cm, one obtains R ■ 500, 1380,

respectively. Since, for these structures, contact witn

the backside is made by overlapping Al at the edge of the

wafer, the spreading resistance is measured without distortion

by the Junction capacitance. Though we do not observe an

R a (-Inr ) dependence but, rather, an R « 1/r one, the

model qualitatively describes the behavior of the spreading

resis tance.

RANGE OF QUASI MOS CAPACITANCE TECHNIQUE

In the preceding sections, we have shown that the contribution

of the junction impedance can be neglected, if appropriate

values for the resistivities, oxide thickness, dot diameter,

etc., are selected. In tne following, we give approximate

ranges for those parameters. Within these ranges, the junction

impedance is small compared with the interface, oxide, and

layer impedance.

For a 5-ym layer of p ^ 0.3 ohm-cm resistivity and 1200 A SiO?,

a dot of d < 0.5-mm diameter should be used. The substrate

might have p £ 20 ohm-cm. For other oxide thicknesses d , d

can be chosen to be d 0.5 d . For higher layer resistivities 1200 ox'

the layer thickness should be increased according to the

resistivity ratio. For epitaxial p values >^ 15 ohm-cm, care

must be tiken that the condition C << CT is still valid, ox J

e.g., by increasing the wafer area. For the insulator-silicon

structure, with an oxide thickness of 1300 Ä and a layer of

16 — 1 a, 10 ym and N , N 'v 1-2x10 cm , we consider a dot of

0.25-mm diameter as appropriate. The same changes in dot

d'ameter and epitaxial layer thickness should be done for

a variation in oxide thickness and liyer resistivity. The

diameter of the wafer should be at least 1-1/4 inches. Since

these values refer to the oxide capacitance (x ■ RC ) and r ox

the lifetime measurements are carried out with the inversion and

deep depletion capacitance (8), thu accuracy increases by

(Cox/Cf)2. (Cf. Eq. [1].)

COMPARISON WITH OTHER TECHNIQUES

Finally, this technique should be compared with some alter-

natives, namely, the MOS emitter device and the buried-layer

SOS structure, described, for example, in Reis. (9) and (10).

Though some restricting conditions are implied in our

technique, such as dot diarerer, epitaxial layer thickness,

etc., its advantages are greater versatility and measurement

without distortion of a conduction layer. For example, t' e

technique of Jones and Barber (9) is restricted to lifetimes,

whereas a buried conduction layer (10) might cause out-

diffur,ion and thus a reduction of lifetimes even in the

epitaxial bulk.

Measurements using a guard ring as a counterelectrode were

made. The substrate was at the same potential as the guard

ring. The equivalent network consists of the oxide and space

charge capacitance, C and C , respectively, of the dot or 'OX 8C

in series with the oxide capacitance C , the space charge

capacitance C of the ring, ar.cS the spreading resistance of S C K

the layer. The netv^ik is shunted by the coupling capacitance

C between the dot and the ring. (We neglect here the shunt

to the substrate, because this has been discussed above.)

The condition C << oxR 8cR can be fulfilled by the ox C n + C _ '

oxR sell appropriate choice of the ring area. The condition

C • C OX s c

Cc << p ^—r is always valid since oxide thicknesses of ox sc

500...5000 A are used. For a dot diameter of 60 mils, an

oxide of 1000 A, and a spacing of 150 ym, one obtains

-4 C ■ 10 pf. Thus dispersion-free C-V curves are feasible.

This was confirned by the experiment. However, a disadvantage

is encountered. with the present state of the art, photoresist

deteriorates the oxide and silicon properties, especially the

lifetimes and the oxide stability. We observed reductions in

lifetimes from 500 ysec to 0.1 ysec and flatband shifts.

(The lifetime data of the paper were obtained by the technique

given in Ref. 8.)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results of the measurements can be summarized as follows:

Flatband voltages and surface-state densities are found in

the ujual ranges ■> f % -IV and < 1.4x10 eV~ cm' , respective.-

1 Since the peak of the G-V curves Is found at depletion

surface potentials for frequencies In the kHz range, the

capture cross »ctlon can be expected to be 10 to 10 cm .

No deviation compared with "normal" MOS structures can be seen.

Liferiu^ü are measured to be 1 ysec In the epitaxial waferr,

-3 10 psec in the n-SOS wafers, and 0.1 ysec in the p-SOS

wafers.

The SOS low-frequency curves for wafers of layer thicknesses

between 1 and 10 ym do not show any trace of a donor or an

acceptor level (Fig. 6). This is in contradiction to earlier

reports (11, 12), where an acceptor and a donor level at

E - EA - 0.25 eV and £„ - E - 0.30 eV were published. This c A D v

might be attributed to different measurement techniques. The

densities of the levels are reported to be 10 to 10x cm

A good resolution for surface states (or bulk impurities

11 -2 seen as surface states) for the slow rnrnp technique is 10 cm

If this value is divided by an effec.lve distribution width

of 10 to 100 A, one obtains bulk concentrations of 10 to

18 - 3 10 cm . The slow ramp technique, however, measures states

localized at the surface, whereas the techniques used in

Refs. (11) and (12) cover the cotal depth of the film. Thus,

it might be concluded that the reported levels are located

near the Si-Al-O» interface.

another possible explanation Is the fact that one deals with

extremely deep levels. Their time constant Is controlled by

the surface potential u : r s

(o th NA) exp (-u8)

Since the levels are defined to be either acceptor or donor

levels, they exchange carriers only with the valence or

conductance band, respectively. With the given data and an

— i c 2 assumption of a capture cross section o * 10 cm and a

thermal velocity v , ■ 10 cm/sec, one obtains for the hole

2 dispersion time constant In the n-type wafer T - 2x10 sec /f p

This value Is comparable to our measurement frequency of

-3 -15 ? 2x10 ^ Hz. Capture cross sections of 10 CTQ have been

measured (13); in this case, however, higher values are

more likely, and the first explanation should be preferred.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

The measurement of the admittance of an MOS structure

over a p-n Junction or on SOS devices is discussed. »t

is shown that by appropriate choice of the wafer data, the

contribution of the junction to the total admittance can

be neglected and lifetime measurement can be carried out.

No deep levels can be seen for the SOS system.
