ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the properties of high intensity lamp-annealed silicon or beryllium-implanted GaAs and InP samples. We find this annealing process can result in efficient activation of dopants. Conventional furnace annealing at the same temperature does not result in increased electrical activation of the dopants. High fluence silicon implants can be activated in anneal times as short as 2 seconds, while low fluence silicon implants require more extended annealing. Activation of low fluence implants in GaAs depends strongly on the properties of the bulk semiinsulating material.

ABSTRACTSilicide formation induced by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and conventional furnace annealing (CFA) in bilayers of sequentially deposited films of amorphous silicon and polycrystalline Co or Ni is studied with RBS, X-ray diffraction and TEM. Particular attention is paid to the reliability of the RTA temperature measurements in the study of the growth kinetics of the first interfacial compound, Co2Si and Ni2Si, for both RTA and CFA. It is found that the same diffusion-controlled kinetics applies for the silicide formation by RTA in argon and CFA in vacuum with a common activation energy of 2.1+0.2eV for Co2Si and 1.3+0.2eV for Ni Si. Co and Ni atoms are the dominant diffusing species; during silicide formation by both RTA and CFA. The microstructures of the Ni-silicide formed by the two annealing techniques, however, differs considerably from each other, as revealed by cross-sectional TEM studies.

Conventional Furnace Annealing

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing (RTA) is used to form shallow and heavily-doped contact regions in undoped, semi-insulating GaAs. These layers are formed by using a high-intensity tungstenhalogen lamp to diffuse germanium and selenium from a deposited GeSe thin-film. RTA reduces surface degradation and permits better control of the diffusion profile than conventional furnace annealing. Optimal 20-second RTA occurs above a diffusion threshold at 950°C but below the failure of the SiO2 encapsulant at 1100°C. The n+ regions created have peak impurity concentrations over 1020/cm3 at depths under 750 Å with sheet resistances less than 60 Ω/▩. Non-alloyed ohmic contacts exhibit specific contact resistivites of 2.2 × 10−4 Ω · cm−2.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal process utilizing radiation from halogen lamps has been used to post-anneal ion-implanted GaAs. Annealing conditions for Si implants in GaAs are discussed from the view point of applying this technique to GaAs MESFET fabrication. Also, the properties of S and Mg implants in GaAs followed by rapid thermal annealing are comparatively studied with the results after conventional furnace annealing. High electrical activation and minimized implant diffusion for both low and high dose implants are the principal features of this technique. The fabricated MESFET showed much higher transconductance without any anomalous characteristics, indicating this technique to be a promising alternative to conventional furnace annealing.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing (RTA) technology offers potential advantages for the processing of ion implanted GaAs. High energy implants of 300 keV or above are used for power MESFETs as well as in the ohmic contacts for low noise devices. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and characterize the RTA of Si implants into LEC GaAs using implant energies of 300keV and above, and a range of doses from 2.3 ×1012 to 3×1014 /cm2. The wafers were analyzed using capacitance-voltage and Hall measurements. Factors which cause variability in pinchoff voltage are identified and an RTA process comparable to conventional furnace annealing is presented for low dose implants. Superior implant activation is observed for higher dose implants through the use of higher annealing temperature.

ABSTRACTThe feasibility of using isothermal RTA in annealing ion implanted layers for forming junctions has been investigated for the past 10 years. While many of the scientific details surrounding defect formation, transient diffusion and dopant activation remain to be clarified, RTA intrinsically is a viable annealing process which is essential for fabricating advanced silicon devices.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing has been used to study the electrical activation mechanisms for magnesium and selenium implants in GaAs. By analysing the changes in electrical activity as a function of annealing time and temperature, a model has been developed which accurately predicts the electrical properties following the post-implant annealing stage. The model has been used to study the activation of other ions, particularly zinc, beryllium, tin and sulphur, the results of which will be compared with those of magnesium and selenium. The results suggest that the mechanism for electrical activation is dominated by the diffusion of gallium, arsenic or vacancies. The paper will present the model and discuss the activation mechanisms of the ions.

Deactivation Process

ABSTRACTSilicon samples were single implanted with B+ (5 x 1014 cm−2, 50 keV) or co-implanted with C+ (5 x 1015 cm−2, 55 keV). Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) with heating rates (HR) of 1°C/s and 100°C/s with dwell time duration from 2 s to 15 min was used for B activation and the results compared with those provided by conventional furnace annealing (FA) for 30 min. In single implanted samples it was found that below 600°C or above 800°C the activation always increases with the annealing time. However, in the temperature range of 600-800°C and annealing times longer than 60 s a fraction of the initially activated B concentration deactivates. For temperatures in the range of 700-800°C the deactivation is followed again by another activation period. There is no noticeable difference between the activation yields after RTA with high HR for 15 min or FA for 30 min. In the C co-implanted samples the activation of boron saturates after few minutes. In addition the deactivation process is significantly reduced. A model assuming interaction of the B atoms with point defects and the C atoms with Si self- interstitial atoms is proposed to explain the results.

ABSTRACTWe report on the structural and electrical properties of (100) InP resulting from the implantation of 180 keV Si+ and subsequent annealing. The radiation damage produced by implantation at substrate temperatures from 77 to 480 K is evaluated using MeV He ion channeling. Varying degrees of recrystallization are found depending on the implant temperature and choice of furnace vs. rapid thermal annealing. Samples implanted at 25°C to a dose of 3.3.1014ions/cm2 continue to display structural disorder regardless of annealing procedures. In contrast, implantation at 200°C to 3.3-1014ions/cm2 produces a low but measurable damage level. Further annealing lowered the disorder to a level similar to that of unimplanted material.The electrical activation of both low and high fluence ion doses is nearly the same at the optimal conditions for rapid thermal annealing (RTA) or furnace annealing (FA). However the electron mobility is found to be higher after hot implantation and RTA. The electrical profile after hot implantation is wider than the profile after RT implants and FA.
