AbstractLocal motion, diffusion and interaction of impurities in solids are important aspects of semiconductor material and device processing. Rapid thermal processing (RTP) is extremely concerned and appears to offer significant advantages in these areas. As oxygen is one of the dominant impurities present in silicon, various applications require different level of oxygen to improve the device performance.In this work, we have taken the advantage of this feature to study the effects of the oxygen concentration in silicon on the rapid thermal co-diffusion of phosphorus and aluminium. In particular, we will show that the large enhancement of the minority carrier diffusion length (LD) due to this process can be related to the presence of oxygen and carbon which influences during the thermal cycle are of importance.

AbstractAs a result of device scaling very shallow low resistance diffusions are required for VLSI CMOS fabrication. This paper describes a technique for their formation using silicon implantation for preamorphisation, counterdoping arsenic implantation and overall boron fluoride implantation for the sources and drains of the n- and p-channel transistors. Platinum silicidation has been used to reduce diffusion and polysilicon sheet resistances to 8Q/square. Activation of the shallow diffusions has been achieved either by furnace annealing (FA) or rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the range 900°C to 1100 °C. Materials results are discussed including TTEM, SIMS and SR profiling. The suitability of the technique for VLSI CMOS applications is demonstrated by the fabrication of sub-micron transistors. With larger wafer diameters (>5') the FA conditions considered are not practicable owing to ramped diffusion effects which lead to deeper junctions. Hence RTA is necessary: optimum conditions found were 1100 °C for 10 seconds when device performance equivalent to or better than FA can be achieved.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal processing using halogen lamps was applied to the diffusion of Zn into GaAs0.6 P0.4:Te from Zn-doped oxide films. The Zn diffusion coefficient of the rapid thermal diffused (RTD) samples at 800°C for 6 s was about two orders of magnitude higher than that of the conventional furnace diffused samples at 800°C for 60 min. The enhanced diffusion of Zn by RTD may be ascribed to the stress field due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the doped oxide films and GaAs0.6P0.4 materials, and due to the temperature gradient in GaAs0.6P0 4 materials. The Zn diffusion coefficient at Zn concentration of 1.0 × l018 cm−3 was 3.6 × 10−11, 3.1 × 10−11 and 5.0 × 10−12 cm2 /s for the RTD samples at 950°C for 6 s from Zn-, (Zn,Ga)- and (Zn,P)-doped oxide films, respectively. This suggests that Zn diffusibility was controlled by the P in the doped oxide films.
