ABSTRACTHigh-dose ion implantation (1017 ions-cm−2) of C+, N+, and O+ at 50 KeV into silicon followed by pulsed laser annealing at 1.06 μm was studied. Formation of SiC, Si3N4, and SiO2 has been observed and investigated using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Differential Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy. Furthermore, in N+-implanted and laser-annealed silicon samples, we have observed a cell-like structure which has been identified to be spheroidal polycrystalline silicon formed by the rapid laser irradiation.

ABSTRACTFormation of buried insulating layers and redistribution of impurities during annealing are important processes in new semiconductor device technologies. We have studied pulsed ruby laser and furnace annealing of high dose (D>1017 N/cm2) 50 KeV nitrogen implanted silicon. Using He Back scattering and channeling, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and infrared transmission spectroscopy, we have compared liquid and solid phase regrowth, diffusion, impurity segregation and nitride formation. As has been previously reported, during furnace annealing at or above 1200C nitrogen redistributes and forms a polycrystalline silicon nitride (Si3N4 ) layer. [1–4] In contrast, pulsed laser annealing produces a buried amorphous silicon nitride layer filled with voids or bubbles below a layer of polycrystalline silicon.

ABSTRACTIn an effort to understand the origin of defects earlier found to be present in p–n junctions formed by pulsed laser annealing (PLA) of ion implanted (II) semiconducting GaAs, photoluminescence (PL) studies have been carried out. PL spectra have been obtained at 4K, 77K and 300K, for both n–and p–type GaAs, for laser energy densities 0 ≤ El ≤ 0.6 J/cm2. It is found that PLA of crystalline (c−) GaAs alters the PL spectrum and decreases the PL intensity, corresponding to an increase in density of non-radiative recombination centers with increasing El. The variation of PL intensity with El is found to be different for n– and p–type material. No PL is observed from high dose (1 or 5×1015 ions/cm2 ) Sior Zn-implanted GaAs, either before or after laser annealing. The results suggest that the ion implantation step is primarily responsible for formation of defects associated with the loss of radiative recombination, with pulsed annealing contributing only secondarily.

ABSTRACTHeavily-doped, ultra-shallow junctions in boron implanted silicon using pulsed laser annealing have been created. Laser energy in the nonmelt regime has been supplied to the silicon surface at a ramp rategreater than 1010°C/sec. This rapid ramp rate will help decrease dopant diffusion while supplying enough energy to the surface to produce dopant activation. High-dose, non-amorphizing 1 keV, 1e15 ions/cm2 boron is used. Four-point probe measurements (FPP) show a drop in sheet resistance withnonmelt laser annealing (NLA) alone. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the NLA dramatically affects the defect nucleation resulting in fewer defects with post annealing. Hall mobility and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) results are also shown.

ABSTRACTRetention and bonding of nitrogen implanted into crystalline Si were examined by infrared absorption (ir) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after furnace and pulsed laser annealing. Localized Si-N vibrational modes for N-N pairs are observed, and the associated ir band intensities increase upon pulsed annealing. Furnace annealing above 600°C decreases the ir intensity for N-N pairs and fine structure defects appear in TEM. Subsequent laser annealing removes most of the fine structure and reactivates the pair spectrum which we interpret as dissolution of N precipitates and pair formation upon quenching from the melt. Any realistic model for N in Si must include the formation and consequences of N-N pairs.
