Comparison of Short Time Annealing of Implanted Silicon Layers With Tungsten-Halogen Lamp and Mercury Arc Lamp Sources
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTShort time anneal (STA) experiments were performed in a specially designed system which uses either a bank of Tungsten-Halogen lamps or a moving Mercury arc lamp as the light source. Both STA results were compared with conventional furnace anneal. The Mercury arc lamp anneal is found to be a critical process but optimization for wafer damage free conditions can be achieved. The anneals result in general in a better profile control which is most outspoken for shallow Boron implants while the electrical activation is comparable for all elements to that obtained with Tungsten-Halogen or furnace anneal.
