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 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the thermal chemical vapor deposition process comprises heating the substrate to a temperature between about 480 degrees Celsius and about 550 degrees Celsius.
