本文用横截面电子显微镜法分析了Si-W/Si/SiO2/Si(100)在440—1000℃退火后的晶化过程,以及各个界面的变化情况.发现Si-W合金膜中,WSi2并未优先在表面、界面处形成晶核.当退火温度不高于700℃时,反应在合金膜内发生,表面、界面起伏和缓.退火温度高达800—1000℃时,界面、表面出现原子扩散,造成剧烈的界面起伏;表面则出现小的热沟槽,Si/SiO2界面也出现高分辨电子显微镜才能观察到的起伏.表面、界面的原子迁移的动力来源于晶界与表面、界面张力.由于SiO2中Si—O键很稳定,不易发生Si和O在界面处的互扩散,所以Si/SiO2界面起伏很小.The crystalization process of Si-W alloy film and the change of interfaces of Si-W poly-Si/SiO2/Si(100) after annealing have been studied by cross-sectioned TEM method. After annealing at above 440℃, nucleation of crystalline WSi is uniform in the alloy film, i.e., there is no preferential nucleation at the surface and interface. When the annealing semperature is lower than 800℃, the crystallization reaction take place in the alloy film, surface and interface of alloy film remain almost unchanged. After annealing at 800-1000℃, small thermal grooves appear on the surface of WSi. Very small fluctuation appears at the poly-Si/SiO2 interface as observed by using high resolution electron microscopy, but WSi/Si interface becomes quite rough. We propose that interdiffusion of Si and W atoms. in the interface driven by the interface tension is the cause of interface roughness. The interdiffusion of Si and O atoms is difficult due to the strong Si-O bond in SiO2, so the Si/SiO2 interface keeps nearly flat.
