Implantation Damage

AbstractFor low energy B (LEB) implantation into Si, the channeling tail is larger than for BF2+ implantation, so Ge+ preamorphization is expected to provide a shallower junction. We studied the Ge+ and B+ implantation damages and the damage-induced B diffusion. The substrate implanted Ge+ with 2×l014 cm-2, that is, a complete amorphization, retains less residual defects after RTA. However the sheet resistivity (S) is higher than the sample implanted with only LEB. Solid phase epitaxy (SPE) of amorphized layer causes B out-diffusion. The diffusion length of the amorphized substrate is smaller than that of LEB. We expect that the B diffusion is enhanced by the LEB damage, which corresponds to the enhanced diffusion of light damage.

ABSTRACTIon implantation of Ti into LINbO3 has been shown to be an effective means of producing optical waveguides, while maintaining better control over the resulting concentration profile of the dopant than can be achieved by in-diffusion. While undoped, amorphous LiNbO3 can be regrown by solid-phase epitaxy at 400°C with a regrowth velocity of 250 Å/min, the higher concentrations of Ti required to form a waveguide (∼10%) slow the regrowth considerably, so that temperatures approaching 800°C are used. Complete removal of residual damage requires annealing temperatures of 1000°C, not significantly lower than those used with in-diffusion. Solid phase epitaxy of Agimplanted LiNbO3, however, occurs at much lower temperatures. The regrowth is completed at 400°C, and annealing of all residual damage occurs at or below 800°C. Furthermore, the regrowth rate is independent of Ag concentration up to the highest dose implanted to date, 1 × 1017 Ag/cm2. The usefulness of Ag implantation for the formation of optical waveguides is limited, however, by the higher mobility of Ag at the annealing temperature, compared to Ti.

ABSTRACTWe have synthesized single crystal Si1−xGex alloy layers in Si <100> crystals by high dose Ge ion implantation and solid phase epitaxy. The implantation was performed using the metal vapor vacuum arc (Mevva) ion source. Ge ions at mean energies of 70 and 100 keV and with doses ranging from 1×1016 to to 7×1016 ions/cm2 were implanted into Si <100> crystals at room temperature, resulting in the formation of Si1−xGex alloy layers with peak Ge concentrations of 4 to 13 atomic %. Epitaxial regrowth of the amorphous layers was initiated by thermal annealing at temperatures higher than 500°C. The solid phase epitaxy process, the crystal quality, microstructures, interface morphology and defect structures were characterized by ion channeling and transmission electron microscopy. Compositionally graded single crystal Si1−xGex layers with full width at half maximum ∼100nm were formed under a ∼30nm Si layer after annealing at 600°C for 15 min. A high density of defects was found in the layers as well as in the substrate Si just below the original amorphous/crystalline interface. The concentration of these defects was significantly reduced after annealing at 900°C. The kinetics of the regrowth process, the crystalline quality of the alloy layers, the annealing characteristics of the defects, and the strains due to the lattice mismatch between the alloy and the substrate are discussed.

Si 0.875-y Ge 0.125 C y ternary alloy films were grown on Si by ion implantation of C into Si 0.875 Ge 0.125 layers and subsequent solid phase epitaxy. It was shown that C atoms were nearly incorporated into substitutional sites and no SiC was formed in the SiGeC films by optimal two-step annealing. There is a prominent effect of C contents on carrier transport properties. Compared with strained Si 0.875 Ge 0.125 film, enhanced Hall mobility has been obtained in partially and fully strain compensated Si 0.875-y Ge 0.125 C y layer due to the reduction of lattice strain.

ABSTRACTThis paper provides a brief overview of the application of transient annealing to the removal of ion implantation damage and dopant activation in GaAs. It is shown that both the liquid phase and solid phase annealing processes are more complex in GaAs than those observed in Si. Particular attention is given to observations of damage removal, surface dissociation, dopant redistribution, solubility and the electrical properties of GaAs. The various annealing mechanisms are discussed and areas in need of further investigation are identified.
