Abstract:
1. A method of epitaxially growing a silicon-containing film on a surface, which surface enables epitaxial growth of a silicon-containing film having a desired structure, said film growing method comprising the use of a lamp facing said surface to provide radiation having a wavelength ranging from about 310 nm to about 120 nm on said on which said silicon containing film is grown, in the processing volume in which said film growing method is carried out, where the power density of said radiation is at least 1 mW/cm 2 , to 25 mW/cm 2 , and wherein said film-growing method is carried out at a temperature ranging between about 500° C. and about 750° C., at a pressure ranging between about 1 Torr and about 80 Torr.
