ABSTRACT:
A method for minimizing particle generation during deposition of a graded Si1-xGexlayer on a semiconductor material includes providing a substrate in an atmosphere including a Si precursor and a Ge precursor, wherein the Ge precursor has a decomposition temperature greater than germane, and depositing the graded Si1-xGexlayer having a final Ge content of greater than about 0.15 and a particle density of less than about 0.3 particles/cm2on the substrate.
