Popis: Stress in highly phosphorus-doped polysilicon films for surface micromachining using diffusion doping with POCl3 as dopant source is investigated. The deposition temperature is varied in the range 565 to 620°C, and doping is done at 950 and 850°C, respectively. Wafer curvature measurements and micromachined indicator structures are used to determine the residual stress. A process sequence yielding highly phosphorus-doped polysilicon films with low tensile stress is presented. As no additional high-temperature annealing step is necessary, the films are suitable for integrating surface-micromachined sensors and actuators with microelectronics.
