چکیده

This paper investigates how the thermal diffusion of boron in silicon is influenced by a high energy fluorine implant with a dose in the range 531014–2.331015 cm−2. Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) profiles of boron marker layers are presented for different fluorine doses and compared with fluorine profiles to establish the conditions under which thermal boron diffusion is suppressed. The (SIMS) profiles show significantly reduced boron thermal diffusion above a critical F+ dose of 0.9–1.431015 cm−2. Fitting of the measured boron profiles gives suppressions of the boron thermal diffusion coefficient by factors of 1.9 and 3.7 for F+ implantation doses of 1.4 31015 and 2.331015 cm−2, respectively. The suppression of boron thermal diffusion above the critical fluorine dose correlates with the appearance of a shallow fluorine peak on the (SIMS) profile in the vicinity of the boron marker layer. This shallow fluorine peak is present in samples with and without boron marker layers, and hence it is not due to a chemical interaction between the boron and the fluorine. Analysis of the (SIMS) profiles and cross-section Transmission Electron Microscope micrographs suggests that it is due to the trapping of fluorine at vacancy-fluorine clusters, and that the suppression of the boron thermal diffusion is due to the effect of the clusters in suppressing the interstitial concentration in the vicinity of the boron profile. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Secondary defect formation in bonded silicon-on-insulator after boron implantation

Silicon-on-insulator ~SOI! has proven to be a viable alternative to traditional bulk silicon for fabrication of complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor devices. However, a number of unusual phenomena with regards to diffusion and segregation of dopants in SOI have yet to be explained. In the present study, SOITEC wafers were thinned to 700 and 1600 Å using oxidation and etching. Ion implantatio...

Point 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...

Dose–time relation in BF3 plasma immersion ion implantation

Semiconductor devices with shallow junctions can be fabricated using plasma immersion ion implantation. In this technique BF3 gas has been used as the boron dopant source due to its low toxicity. Not only are ions implanted but, because of the fluorine ions, there is etching and deposition at the wafer surface. Therefore, the relationship between total dose and processing time is not straightfo...
