ABSTRACTSuccessful annealing of p+ n arrays fabricated by ion-implantation of 11B (50 keV, 1 × 1014 cm-2) into Si (100 has been performed using a broadly rastered, low-resolution (0.25-inch diameter) electron beam. A complete 2" wafer could be uniformly annealed in ≃20 sec with high electrical activation (>75%) and small dopant redistribution (≃450 Å). Annealing resulted In p+n junctions characterized by low reverse current (≃4 nAcm-2 at 5V reverse bias) and higher carrier lifetime (80 μsec) over the entire 2" wafer. Based on the electrical characteristics of the diodes, we estimate that the electron beam anneal was able to remove ion implantation damage and leave an ordered substrate to a depth of 5.5 m below the layer junction.

ABSTRACTWe have used high resolution x-ray diffraction to analyze the structural changes that accompany boron doping of silicon by BF3 plasma source ion implantation (PSII). Triple crystal diffraction analysis of as-implanted PSII doped silicon showed little excess x-ray diffuse scattering, even when analyzed using the asymmetric (113) reflection for increased surface sensitivity. This result suggests that PSΠ is capable of providing high dose implantation with low damage. Annealing of the PSII-doped silicon showed the development of a compressive surface layer, indicated by enhanced x-ray scattering directed perpendicular to the surface. Virtually all of the scattering from the annealed samples was concentrated in the so-called “surface streak” which arises due to dynamical diffraction from the perfect crystal Si structure. Little if any diffuse scattering due to kinematic scattering from crystal defects was detected. These observations indicate that plasma source doping can be used to achieve both a shallow implant depth and an extremely uniform incorporation of boron into the silicon lattice.
