The QCM showed two types of the frequency decrease behaviors, that is, i) a quick shift due to the gas property change caused by the trichlorosilane gas introduction into the ambient hydrogen and ii) the continuous and gradual decrease due to the byproduct deposition on the QCM surface during the silicon epitaxial growth. Because both i) and ii) showed a relationship with the silicon epitaxial growth rate, the in-situ information obtained by the QCM was expected for the real time monitoring of the film deposition process.}, pages = {192--197}, title = {Real time evaluation of silicon epitaxial growth process by exhaust gas measurement using quartz crystal microbalance}, volume = {88}, year = {2018} }
