Abstract:
Implementations described herein generally relate to the fabrication of integrated circuits and particularly to the deposition of a boron-doped amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers on a semiconductor substrate. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method comprises generating a pressure within a processing volume between 2 Torr and 60 Torr. The method further comprises heating a substrate in the processing volume to a temperature between 300 degrees Celsius and 550 degrees Celsius. The method further comprises flowing a silane-containing gas mixture into the processing volume having the substrate positioned therein. The method further comprises flowing a borane-containing gas mixture into the processing volume having the substrate positioned therein and depositing a boron-doped amorphous silicon layer on the substrate.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the substrate comprises a plurality of alternating oxide and nitride materials, one or more oxide materials or nitride materials, polysilicon or amorphous silicon materials, oxides alternating with amorphous silicon, oxides alternating with polysilicon, undoped silicon alternating with doped silicon, undoped polysilicon alternating with doped polysilicon, or undoped amorphous silicon alternating with doped amorphous silicon.
