Abstract
Surface chemical processes of the silane gas-source molecular beam epitaxy were investigated for Si(100) and Si(111) surfaces by comparing the growth rate with the surface hydrogen coverage during epitaxy. The surface hydrogen coverage was obtained through a thermal desorption measurement just after a quenching of the epitaxy. It was found that the hydrogen desorption process is the major rate-limiting process both on Si(100) and Si(111) surfaces below 600°C.
