The boron diffusion in three kinds of group IV semiconductors: silicon, silicon carbide and synthetic diamond has been studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry. Ion implantation of 300 keV, 11B-ions to a dose of 21014 cm-2 has been performed. The samples are subsequently annealed at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1650 °C for 5 minutes up to 8 hours. In silicon and silicon carbide, the boron diffusion is attributed to a transient process and the level of out-diffusion is correlated to intrinsic carrier concentration. No transient, out-diffused, boron tail is revealed in diamond at these temperatures.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated and modeled the diffusion of boron implanted into crystalline silicon in the form of boron difluoride BF2+. Low energy BF2+ 1×1015 cm−2 implantations at 2.0keV were characterized using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) in order to measure dopant profiles. RTA was carried out at 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C and 1100°C during 10s, 20s, 30s and 60s. The results show that concentration profiles for BF2+ implant are shallower than those for a direct B+ ion implantation. This could be attributed to the presence of fluorine which trap interstitial Si so that interstitial silicon supersaturation is low near the surface.

ABSTRACTClassical diffusion measurements in intermetallic compounds are often complicated by low diffusivities or low solubilities of the elements of interest. Using secondary ion mass spectrometry for measurements over a relatively shallow spatial range may be used to solve the problem of low diffusivity. In order to simultaneously obtain measurements on important impurity elements with low solubilities we have used ion implantation to supersaturate a narrow layer near the surface. Single crystal NiAl was implanted with either 12C or both 56Fe and 12C in order to investigate the measurement of substitutional (Fe) versus interstitial (C) tracer diffusion and the cross effect of both substitutional and interstitial diffusion. When C alone was implanted negligible diffusion was observed over the range of times and temperatures investigated. When both Fe and C were implanted together significantly enhanced diffusion of the C was observed, which is apparently associated with the movement of Fe. This supports one theory of dynamic strain aging in Fe alloyed NiAl.

The effect of phosphorus (P) on the electrical properties of the 4H-SiC / SiO2interface was investigated. Phosphorus was introduced by surface-near ion implantation with varying ion energy and dose prior to thermal oxidation. Secondary ion mass spectrometry revealed that only part of the implanted P followed the oxidation front to the interface. A negative flatband shift due to residual P in the oxide was found fromC-Vmeasurements. Conductance method measurements revealed a significant reduction of density of interface trapsDitwith energyEC- Eit> 0.3 V for P+-implanted samples with [P]interface= 1.5 1018cm-3in the SiC layer at the interface.

ABSTRACTThe chemical profiles of Zn, Ge, and Se implanted into InP at elevated temperatures have been measured with secondary ion mass spectrometry and correlated to the implantation damage as deduced from RBS/channeling measurements. An asymmetric broadening of the chemical profiles towards the bulk was found for implantation temperatures above 150°C. This effect is concluded to be due to impurity channeling during implantation.

ABSTRACTQuantitative depth profiles of impurities in LPE layers of HgCdTe have been determined using relative sensitivity factors calculated from ion implantation profiles. Standards were provided for Li, Be, B, C, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Cu, Ga, As, Br, and In. Relative sensitivity factors as a function of ionization potential for O2+ primary ion SIMS and electron affinity for Cs+ primary ion SIMS have been calculated in order to extend quantitation to elements not yet implanted. Examples of depth profiles for implant standards and unimplanted layers are given.

Strained Sige

Boron diffusion in Si and strained SiGe with and without C was studied. Using gassource molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), B containing epitaxial layers of: (i) Si, (ii) Si containing 0.1% C, (iii) SiGe with 11% Ge and (iv) SiGe with 11% Ge and with a 0.1% C, were grown on substrates. These samples were then rapid thermal annealed (RTA) at 940, 1000 and 1050°C in an O2 ambient. Self-interstitial-, vacancy- and non-injection conditions were achieved by annealing bare, Si3N4- and Si3N4+SiO2-coated surfaces, respectively. Concentration profiles of B, Ge and C were obtained using Secondary-Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS). Diffusion coefficients of B in each type of matrix were extracted by computer simulation. We find that B diffusivity is reduced by both Ge and C. The suppression due to C is much larger. In all materials, a substantial enhancement of B diffusion was observed due to self-interstitial injection compared to non-injection conditions. These results indicate that B diffusion in all four types of layers is mediated primarily by interstitialcy type defects.

AbstractThe effects of implantation and annealing on an AlAs-GaAs superlattice grown by OMCVD is examined with SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry). Several 180 keV 28Si+ implants, with doses ranging from 3 × 1013 to 3 × 1015 cm−2, are examined before and after a three hour 850 C anneal. While the implantation by itself causes some intermixing in the vicinity of the projected range, the 850 C thermal anneal induces significant mixing at depths well beyond the implant range. In the region of maximum implant damage, however, the post-thermal mixing effect is inhibited. Depth dependent diffusion lengths of Al and Si are derived from the SIMS data. The diffusion coefficient of Si is markedly enhanced in the mixed regions.
