A comparison of boron and phosphorus diffusion and dislocation loop growth from silicon implants into silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transient enhanced diffusion �TED� results from implantation damage creating enhanced diffusion of dopants in silicon. This phenomenon has mostly been studied using boron marker layers. We have performed an experiment using boron, phosphorus, and dislocation markers to compare TED effects. This experiment shows that phosphorus is enhanced significantly more than boron during damage annealing. Dislocation growth indicates that a number of interstitials greater than the damage dose is captured during these anneals. The time to saturate the dislocation growth agrees well with phosphorus diffusion saturation, and is greater than the boron saturation. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. �S0021-8979�97�04402-2�

Direct comparison of boron, phosphorus, and aluminum gettering of iron in crystalline silicon
This paper presents a direct quantitative comparison of the effectiveness of boron diffusion, phosphorus diffusion, and aluminum alloying in removing interstitial iron in crystalline silicon in the context of silicon solar cells. Phosphorus diffusion gettering was effective in removing more than 90% of the interstitial iron across a range of diffusion temperatures, sheet resistances, and iron d...
متن کاملDiffusion-limited interaction of dislocation loops and interstitials during dry oxidation in silicon
The interaction of implantation-induced dislocation loops and interstitials in silicon is studied. Experiments under dry oxidation conditions consistently show a significant reduction of OED (oxidation enhanced diffusion) of boron in a buried layer due to very efficient interstitial capturing action of dislocation loops, suggesting diffusion-limited dislocation loop growth. Simple analytic solu...
متن کاملCorrelation of end-of-range damage evolution and transient enhanced diffusion of boron in regrown silicon
Amorphization of a n-type Czochralski wafer was achieved using a series of Si implants of 30 and 120 keV, each at a dose of 1310 cm. The Si implants produced a 2400 Å deep amorphous layer, which was then implanted with 4 keV 1310/cm B. Postimplantation anneals were performed in a tube furnace at 750 °C, for times ranging from 15 min to 6 h. Secondary ion mass spectrometry was used to monitor th...
متن کاملThe stress assisted evolution of point and extended defects in silicon
As semiconductor devices are scaled to sub-micron dimensions, they are becoming more complex in geometry and materials. Stress related problems are therefore pervasive and critical in ultralarge scale integrated technology. High levels of stress can cause severe degradation of device characteristics by generating and propagating dislocations in the silicon substrate. Furthermore, stress in the ...
متن کاملPhosphorus diffusion in isoconcentration backgrounds under inert conditions in silicon
The diffusivity of phosphorus in isoconcentration backgrounds under inert conditions in silicon is investigated. Phosphorus is implanted at low dose into silicon wafers that are constantly doped with arsenic and boron. These samples are annealed to remove any damage. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements are taken of these as-implanted samples. The wafers are then diffused at both...
