  • Patent number: 4843030
    Abstract: A semiconductor processing method is provided for growing a semiconductor film from a semiconductorbearing gas on a substrate at a substrate temperature below the pyrolytic threshold of the gas. The gas is photodissociated to a collisionally stable species which migrates and travels in the gas phase the entire distance to the substrate, surving hundreds of collisions, and is pyrolyzed at the surface of the substrate and forms several monolayers of semiconductor material which is substantially more catalytically active than the substrate and which subsequently catalyzes decomposition of the gas.
