Atomistic calculations of ion implantation in Si: Point defect and transient enhanced diffusion phenomena
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new atomistic approach to Si device process simulation is presented. It is based on a Monte Carlo diffusion code coupled to a binary collision program. Besides diffusion, the simulation includes recombination of vacancies and interstitials, clustering and re-emission from the clusters, and trapping of interstitials. We discuss the simulation of a typical room-temperature implant at 40 keV, 5310 cm Si into ~001!Si, followed by a high temperature ~815 °C! anneal. The damage evolves into an excess of interstitials in the form of extended defects and with a total number close to the implanted dose. This result explains the success of the ‘‘11’’model, used to simulate transient diffusion of dopants after ion implantation. It is also in agreement with recent transmission electron microscopy observations of the number of interstitials stored in ~311! defects. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!02803-1#

A simple continuum model for boron clustering based on atomistic calculations
Boron exhibits anomalous diffusion during the initial phases of ion implant annealing. Boron transient enhanced diffusion is characterized by enhanced tail diffusion coupled with an electrically inactive immobile peak. The immobile peak is due to clustering of boron in the presence of excess interstitials which also enhance boron diffusion in the tail region. We present a simple model for the f...
متن کاملSolutions of diffusion equation for point defects
An analytical solution of the equation describing diffusion of intrinsic point defects in semiconductor crystals has been obtained for a one-dimensional finite-length domain with the Robin-type boundary conditions. The distributions of point defects for different migration lengths of defects have been calculated. The exact analytical solution was used to verify the approximate numerical solutio...
متن کاملFront-end process modeling in silicon
Front-end processing mostly deals with technologies associated to junction formation in semiconductor devices. Ion implantation and thermal anneal models are key to predict active dopant placement and activation. We review the main models involved in process simulation, including ion implantation, evolution of point and extended defects, amorphization and regrowth mechanisms, and dopant-defect ...
متن کاملPressure and Stress Effects on Diffusion in Si
The thermodynamics of diffusion under hydrostatic pressure and nonhydrostatic stress is presented for single crystals free of extended defects. The thermodynamic relationships obtained permit the direct comparison of hydrostatic and biaxial stress experiments and of atomistic calculations under hydrostatic stress for any proposed mechanism. Atomistic calculations of the volume changes upon poin...
متن کاملPoint defect based modeling of low dose silicon implant damage and oxidation effects on phosphorus and boron diffusion in silicon
Point defect kinetics are important for understanding and modeling dopant diffusion in silicon. This article describes point defect models and compares them with experimental results for intrinsically doped material. Transient dopant diffusion due to low dose silicon implant damage can be modeled with the same parameters as oxidation enhanced diffusion, and therefore provides an additional tech...
