ABSTRACTBack surface passivation is one of the major challenges in the backside illuminated sensor technology. Ion implantation followed by non-melt pulsed Laser Thermal Annealing (LTA) has been identified as a promising candidate to address this issue. In this work, a shallow B-doped layer is implanted at the backside, further activated using LTA in the non-melt regime. LTA process effectiveness in terms of crystal damage recovery as well as dopant diffusion and activation is studied through room-temperature photoluminescence, Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy and four-point probe sheet resistance. These studies demonstrate that non-melt LTA with multiple pulses induces high activation without visible diffusion with an effective curing of the implantation-induced crystalline defects. This is made possible thanks to a submicrosecond process timescale coupled to a reasonable number of shots as shown by thermal simulations and simple diffusion estimations.

The Si layers doped with Te up to the concentrations of (3–5)1020 cm–3 have been formed via ion implantation and pulsed laser melting. It is found, 70–90 % of the embedded impurity atoms are in substitution states in the silicon lattice. These layers have revealed significant absorption (35–66 %) in the wavelength λ range of 1100–2500 nm. In this case, the absorption coefficient increases with the λ growth. The absorption spectra of the implanted layers after pulsed laser melting, equilibrium furnace annealing, and rapid thermal annealing have been compared. It is shown that equilibrium furnace annealing increases the photon absorption by 4 % in the wavelength range of 1100–2500 nm in comparison with virgin Si. After rapid thermal annealing, the photon absorption in the IR-range increases only by 2 %.
