Abstract

Sb ${\delta}$-doped Si layers were grown by Si MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) system using substrate temperature modulation technique. The Si substrate temperatures were modulated between 350$^{\circ}C$ and 600$^{\circ}C$. The doping profile was as narrow as 41$\AA$ and the doping concentration of up to 3.5${\times}10^{20}cm^{3}$ was obtained. The film quality was as good as bulk material as verified by RHEED (Reflected High Energy Electron Diffraction), SRP (Spreading Resistance Profiling) and Hall measurement. Since the film quality is not degraded after the growth a Sb ${\delta}$-doped Si layer, the ${\delta}$-doped layers can be repeated as many times as we want. The doping technique is useful for many Si devices including small scale devices and those which utilize quantum mechanical effects.
