Semiconductor applications of plasma immersion ion implantation
نویسنده
چکیده
Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) is an established technique in certain niche microelectronics applications such as the synthesis of silicon-oninsulator. In other applications such as shallow junction formation by plasma doping, trench doping, and fabrication of blue light emitting materials, PIII has unique advantages over conventional techniques and may be the technique of choice in the future. There have been significant developments in these areas and recent breakthroughs in plasma and trench doping are discussed in this review paper. Results pertaining to direct-current PIII that excels in planar sample processing as well as the optical characteristics of nano-cavities produced by hydrogen PIII are also presented.

متن کاملSimulation of BF3 Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation into Silicon
Plasma immersion ion implantation from a BF3 plasma into crystalline (100) silicon was performed using the PULSION plasma doping tool. Implanted boron profiles were measured with the SIMS method and simulated using models with different levels of sophistication. The physical implantation model is based on an analytical energy distribution for ions from the plasma and uses a Monte-Carlo simulati...

متن کاملDose–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...
