A theoretical investigation of gas source growth of the Si(001) surface

Abstract:

The growth of the Si(001) surface from gas sources such as disilane is technologically important, as well as scientifically interesting. The aspects of growth covered are: the clean surface, its defects and steps; the action of bismuth, a surfactant; the diffusion behaviour of hydrogen in different environments; and the entire pathway for formation of a new layer of silicon from adsorption of fragments of disilane to nucleation of dimer strings. The theoretical methods used, density func...
