ABSTRACTWe have studied in detail the transient enhanced diffusion observed during furnace or rapid-thermal-annealing of ion-implanted Si. We show that the effect originates in the trapping of Si atoms by dopant atoms during implantation, which are retained during solid-phase-epitaxial (SPE) growth but released by subsequent annealing to cause a transient dopant precipitation or profile broadening. The interstitials condense to form a band of dislocation loops located at the peak of the dopant profile, which may be distinct from the band formed at the original amorphous/crystalline interface. The band can develop into a network and effectively getter the dopant. We discuss the conditions under which the various effects may or may not be observed, and discuss preliminary observations on As+ implanted Si.

ABSTRACTCertain aspects of Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) are reviewed. Temperature considerations are discussed. The implant disorder removal rate is measured (5eV removal energy for As induced damage). Shallower defect-free junctions are obtained using RTA. Results of a ”Round Robin”-RTA annealing are presented, transient enhanced diffusion is not prominent for As. New results for the concentration enhanced diffusion of As are presented. Diffusion from the channeling-tai1 region of shallow boron diffusions is noted as a limiting factor for producing shallow p+-junctions. Other issues are briefly discussed.

ABSTRACTRapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) with tungsten halogen lamps provides excellent regrowth of silicon layers damaged by ion implantation. In addition to minimizing dopant redistribution, the inherent advantage of this technique is good control of temperature gradients. The latter is instrumental in reducing the density of extended defects in the annealed samples. In contrast, solid phase laser annealing, which involves steep temperature gradients, always leaves interstitial dislocation loops and point defect clusters. We present a comparative study of crystal quality following laser processing and incoherent light annealing as well as furnace annealing of As, P and B ion implanted Si wafers.

AbstractExperimental results on the diffusion and precipitation of In and B doubly implanted into Si, followed by rapid thermal treatment are reported. It was observed that In redistributes itself and accumulates in defected regions. The amount of motion of each species is enhanced by the presence of the other. While the B influences In diffusion probably through the same mechanism that leads to concentration enhancement, the effect of In on B is not clear. There is no correlation with strain and no apparent chemical effects. Also the presence of B facilitates the sweeping out of In during low temperature solid phase regrowth.
