Retarded dopant diffusion by moderated dopant-dopant interactions in Si nanowires.
The retarded dopant diffusion in Si nanostructures is investigated using the first principles calculation. It is presented that weak dopant-dopant interaction energy (DDIE) in nanostructures is responsible for the suppressed dopant diffusion in comparison with that in bulk Si. The DDIE is significantly reduced as the diameter of the Si nanowire becomes smaller. The mechanical softening and quan...
متن کاملEffect of near-surface band bending on dopant profiles in ion-implanted silicon
Recent experimental work has demonstrated the existence of band bending at the Si–SiO2 interface after ion implantation. The present work employs FLOOPS-based numerical simulations to investigate the effects this bending can have upon dopant profiles that evolve during transient enhanced diffusion in post-implant annealing. In the case of boron, band bending induces significant junction deepeni...
متن کاملDiameter-dependent dopant location in silicon and germanium nanowires.
We report studies defining the diameter-dependent location of electrically active dopants in silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) nanowires (NWs) prepared by nanocluster catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth without measurable competing homogeneous decomposition and surface overcoating. The location of active dopants was assessed from electrical transport measurements before and after removal of...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Numerical Simulation for Low Dopant Diffusion in Silicon
A numerical simulator for the calculation of redistribution of low dopant diffusion in silicon has been developed in threedimensional(3D) geometry. The diffusion behavior of boron is investigated by using three mask structures and changing the contact hole sizes. The results of calculations show that 3D diffusion effects will be very important in the development of submicron process and small d...
متن کاملTime-resolved single dopant charge dynamics in silicon
As the ultimate miniaturization of semiconductor devices approaches, it is imperative that the effects of single dopants be clarified. Beyond providing insight into functions and limitations of conventional devices, such information enables identification of new device concepts. Investigating single dopants requires sub-nanometre spatial resolution, making scanning tunnelling microscopy an idea...
