ABSTRACTComputer simulations in conjunction with TEM experiments have been used to test the different models usually adopted in the literature to explain the formation of “End Of Range”(EOR) defects which appear after annealing of preamorphized silicon layers. Only one survives careful experimental investigations involving Si+, Ge+, Sn+ amorphization at RT and LNT. The “excess-interstitial” model appears relevant at least for a semi-quantitative explanation of the source of point-defects which after recombination and agglomeration, lead to the formation of these defects. This model may be used for the numerical optimization of conditions for the production of high performances ullra-shallow junctions.

A computer simulation approach for engineering air-jet spun yarns is proposed, and the advantages of computer simulations over experimental investigations and stand-alone mathematical models are discussed. Interactions of the following factors in air-jet spun yarns are analyzed using computer simulations: yarn count and fiber fineness, fiber tenacity and fiber friction, fiber length and fiber friction, and number of wrapper fibers and wrap angle. Based on the results of these simulations, yarn engineering approaches to optimize strength are suggested.

AbstractSilicon with buried oxides formed by ion implantation (SIMOX) or zone-melt recrystallization (ZMR) was exposed to deuterium gas at temperatures from 773 K to 1273 K, and the depth profile of the D was then determined by nuclear-reaction analysis. The D was localized within the buried oxide, with no measurable quantity in the Si phase. Uptake was controlled by permeation through the Si overlayer, and the permeability of D in Si was determined at 873 K. The sample dependence of D uptake indicated substantially fewer defect-trap sites in SIMOX oxide annealed at 1678 K as opposed to 1548 K, with still smaller defect densities in the ZMR oxide. Hydrogen exposure at 1273 K substantially disrupted the SIMOX structures.

ABSTRACTDouble-diffused shallow junctions have been formed by ion implantation of both phosphorus and arsenic ions into silicon substrates and rapid thermal annealing. Experimental results on defect removal, impurity activation and redistribution, effects of Si preamorphization, and electrical characteristics of Ti-silicided junctions are presented.

In this work, we have studied the crystal defectiveness and doping activation subsequent to ion implantation and post-annealing by using various techniques including photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The aim of this work was to test the effectiveness of double step annealing to reduce the density of point defects generated during the annealing of a P implanted 4H-SiC epitaxial layer. The outcome of this work evidences that neither the first 1 hour isochronal annealing at 1650 - 1700 - 1750 °C, nor the second one at 1500 °C for times between 4 hour and 14 hour were able to recover a satisfactory crystallinity of the sample and achieve dopant activations exceeding 1%.

Fe, Ni and Cu atoms diffuse very quickly in Si and are the main targets for metal gettering. W, Hf, and Mo atoms, for example, which diffuse very slowly in Si have also recently become gettering targets in addition to these metals. Therefore, proximity gettering techniques by using ion implantation are being considered. Not only implanted elements but intrinsic point defects exist and form several complexes after the heat treatment for Si crystal recovery. This research systematically investigated the binding energy of twelve important metals (Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W) with implanted dopants (B, C, P, and As) and their complexes with intrinsic point defects (vacancies (Vs) and self-interstitials (Is)) by using first principles calculation. These data should be useful in the design of proximity gettering in LSI manufacturing processes.

ABSTRACTTo characterize the point defects and point defect clusters introduced by ion implantation and annealing, we have used grazing incidence x-rays to measure the diffuse scattering in the tails of Bragg peaks (Huang Scattering). An analysis of the diffuse scattered intensity will allow us to characterize the nature of point defects or defect clusters introduced by ion implantation. We have also observed unexpected satellite peaks in the diffuse scattered tails. Possible causes for the occurrence of the peaks will be discussed.

AbstractIt is shown that defects generated by ion implantation, remaining after annealing at low temperature, are deep-distributed in the bulk silicon and their amount is demonstrated to be function of the substrate type and the implanted ion species. The confirmation that defects penetrate deeply into the silicon is made by a new method that consists in damaging by ion implantation a previously formed pn junction that shows very low leakage current and has a deep junction. It is proposed that the dopants in the substrate act as nucleation centers for the formation of point defect clusters and that these clusters actually degrade the junction. It was found that point defects penetrate much more deeply in p+n junctions than in n+p junctions. It was also found that BF2+ introduces much more defects into the silicon than As+, owing to the presence of fluorine. The leakage currents at 5 V of n+p and p+n diodes made by implantation of P+ and B+, respectively, could be lowered by one to two orders of magnitude with respect to values obtained by implantation of As+ and BF2+ because the former ones produce less defects than the latter.
