An investigation has been made on the growth phenomena of epitaxial layer and polysilicon from SiH2 Cl2 in H2 and the etch phenomena of them from HCI in H2, at the system pressures of 1.0 atm (atmospheric process) and 0.1 attn (reduced pressure process). From the experimental equations for the growth rates and etch rates. the relevant process conditions for the selective epitaxy are predicted for the case of using mixtures of SiH2Cl2 and HCI in H2. As a result, it is found that selective epitaxial growth region exists in the concentration range investigated for the reduced pressure process but it does not for the atmospheric Process. This is due to the differences in the growth rates and etch rates at atmospheric and reduced pressure.
