20140024204 | Method for Selective Growth of Highly Doped Group IV - Sn Semiconductor Materials - Disclosed are methods for selective deposition of doped Group IV-Sn materials. In some embodiments, the method includes providing a patterned substrate comprising at least a first region and a second region, where the first region includes an exposed first semiconductor material and the second region includes an exposed insulator material, and performing at least two cycles of a grow-etch cyclic process. Each cycle includes depositing a doped Group IV-Tin (Sn) layer, where depositing the doped Group IV-Sn layer includes providing a Group IV precursor, a Sn precursor, and a dopant precursor, and using an etch gas to etch back the deposited doped Group IV-Sn layer. | 01-23-2014 |
