Abstract
The morphology and biaxial stress of amorphous boron films grown on silicon at 630°C have been determined in situ and in real time using energy dispersive x-ray reflectivity and multiple-beam optical stress sensor techniques. The capability to determine the morphology and stress of light-element thin films in situ and in real time provides a unique opportunity to optimize the parameters of thin film deposition under chemical vapor deposition conditions.
