AbstractB+ implanted p+n diodes were fabricated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the temperature range 700 - 1100°C. Values of series resistance of diodes decreased with the annealing temperatures. Leakage current (Ir) was independent of the RTA temperatures. Residual defect concentrations increased in the range 700 - 900°C and decreased in the range 1000 - 1100°C. Concentrations of defects with the energy levels of Ec- 0.33 and Ec - 0.48 eV were ∼ 1012 cm−3 for diodes fabricated at 1100°C. The growth of defects in the range 700 - 900°C was ascribed to the diffusion of defects from the implanted layer during annealing.

ABSTRACTMBE grown GaAs/Al0.25Ga0.75As/In0.85Ga0.85 As structures were subjected to SiNx capped rapid thermal annealing and their electrical and material properties were characterized by Hall measurements and photoluminescence (PL). Low temperature (5°K) PL spectra from undoped structures annealed up to 900°C indicated negligible intermixing at the AIGaAs/lnGaAs interface. For planar doped structures (Nd≈5×1012/cm2) the Hall mobility began to decrease at anneal temperatures as low as 800°C with significant degradation observed for annealing temperatures at 850°C. This data is supported by PL spectra which indicate no significant change for samples annealed at 800°C. For the samples annealed at ≥ 850°C a large increase in the full width at half maximum of the transitions from the electron sub-bands of the InGaAs quantum well were observed, suggesting that the change in electrical characteristics is primarily due to diffusion of the Si doping pulse. In contrast. Hall measurement of uniformly doped structures reveal only small decreases in mobility and no significant change in sheet concentration for anneal temperatures up to 900°C and doping levels up to 2.5×1018/cm3. PL spectra reveal no structural changes.

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.

ABSTRACTIn this study, the critical dose for ion-beam mixing of Co and Si with Ge-ions which results in homogenous CoSi2 formation after rapid thermal annealing was found. For this purpose, Co was deposited by sputtering on chemically cleaned, <100>-oriented Si and subsequently mixed with Ge ions at doses in the range of 2. 1014 to 1. 1015 cm−2. Silicidation was performed in a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system at temperatures between 700° and 100°C. Rutherford backscattering measurements showed that annealing at 700°C results in an incomplete reaction when ion-beam mixing at a dose of 2.1014 cm−2 or no ion-beam mixing was performed. After annealing at 1000°C, TEM samples revealed an inhomogeneous CoSi2 film consisting of large grains embedded in the Si. Mixing at doses at or above 5.1014 cm−2 and subsequent RTA at 700°C resulted in uniform CoSi2 layers. Higher annealing temperatures cause larger grains and resistivity values as low as 18 μΩcm. Therefore, we demonstrated that the critical dose leading to complete formation of smooth CoSi2 films with abrupt interface is 5.1014 cm−2 which is nearly the same value as the amorphization dose of Ge in Si.

In this research, the Y2O3 layer is doped with the zirconium through co-sputtering and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 550°C, 700°C, and 850°C. Then the Al electrode is deposited to generate two kinds of structures, Al/ZrN/ Y2O3/ Y2O3+Zr/p-Si and Al/ZrN/ Y2O3+Zr/ Y2O3/p-Si. According to the XRD results, when Zr was doped on the upper layer, the crystallization phenomenon was more significant than Zr was at the bottom layer, meaning that Zr may influence the diffusion of the oxygen. The AFM also shows that the surface roughness of Zr has worse performance. For the electrical property, the influence to overall leakage current is increased because the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) is thinner.
