Abstract

See full text

Implementations described herein relate to selective oxidation processes for semiconductor device manufacturing. In one implementation, the process includes delivering a substrate having a semiconductor device comprising at least a silicon material and a silicon germanium material formed thereon to a process chamber. Process variables are determined based upon the germanium concentration of the silicon germanium material and a desired oxide thickness and a selective oxidation process is performed utilizing the determined process variables.
