ABSTRACTThis paper describes ultra shallow junction formation using 0.5 keV B+/BF2+ implantation, which has the advantage of a reduced channeling tail and no transient enhanced diffusion. In the case of l × 1014 cm−2, 0.5 keV BF2 implantation a junction depth of 19 nm is achieved after RTA at 950°C.

AbstractRapid Thermal Processing (RTP) can minimize processing time and therefore minimize dopant motion during annealing of ion implanted junctions. In spite of the advantage of short time annealing using RTP, the formation of shallow B junctions is thwarted by channeling, transient enhanced diffusion and concentration enhanced diffusion effects all of which lead to deeper B profiles. Channeling and transient enhanced diffusion can be avoided by preamorphizing the silicon before the B implant. However, defects at the original amorphous/crystal boundary persist after annealing. Very low energy B implantation can lead to very shallow dopant profiles and in spite of channeling effects, offers an attractive potential shallow junction technology. In all of the shallow junction formation techniques RTP is required to achieve both high activation of the implanted species and minimal diffusion of the implanted dopant.

The carbon (C) co-implantation and advanced flash anneal were employed to form the ultra shallow junction (USJ) for future nano CMOS technology applications. The effects of the C co-implantation process on dopant transient enhanced diffusion (TED) of the phosphorus (P) doped nano USJ NMOSFETs were investigated in details. The USJ NMOSFETs were prepared by a foundry’s 55 nano CMOS technology. Various implantation energies and doses for both C and P ions were employed. Results show the suppression of the TED is strongly dependent on both C and P implantation conditions. Besides, the mechanisms of P TED and suppression by C ion co-implantation were illustrated comprehensively with schematic models.

ABSTRACTLow energy implantation is currently the most promising option for shallow junction formation in the next generations of silicon CMOS technology. Of the dopants that have to be implanted, boron is the most problematic because of its low stopping power (large penetration depth) and its tendency to undergo transient enhanced diffusion and clustering during thermal activation. This paper reports recent advances in our understanding of low energy B implants in crystalline silicon. In general, satisfactory source-drain junction depths and sheet resistances are achievable down to 0.18 micron CMOS technology without the need for implantation of molecular species such as BF2. With the help of defect engineering it may be possible to reach smaller device dimensions. However, there are some major surprises in the physical mechanisms involved in implant profile formation, transient enhanced diffusion and electrical activation of these implants, which may influence further progress with this technology. Some initial attempts to understand and model these effects will be described.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the influence of the sub-nm screening and capping oxide layer of wet process on B diffusion for 50 nm shallow junction formation. The reason is proposed that the knock-on oxygen into Si makes B diffusion faster such as in the case of oxidation enhanced diffusion. To suppress the B enhanced diffusion, the screening oxide formed before implant should be thin to reduce the knock-on oxygen. The wet process before annealing strongly influences the B diffusion, in particular, thicker capping oxide with sub-oxide structure and knock-on oxygen has an important rule for the enhanced diffusion.
