چکیده

This work presents the first 3-D analysis of lateral dopant diffusion in a patterned structure using a pulsed laser-assisted local electrode atom probe (LEAP). A structure similar to a device channel was created for this work by performing a 3 keV, 1 x 10(15) cm(-2) As+ implant on a poly-Si line patterned wafer with 70 nm line width and 200 nm line pitch. The wafer was subsequently annealed at 950 degrees C for 1s. LEAP samples were made using a site-selective in-situ focused ion beam (FIB) process. The results from LEAP analysis were then compared with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Florida object-oriented process simulator (FLOOPS) results. Good structural agreement was found between the LEAP and HRTEM results. Several 1-D As concentration profiles extracted from the LEAP data were also found to be in good agreement with FLOOPS process simulation results. These profiles also represent for the first time that results from a 3-D process simulator have been able to be confirmed experimentally using a single sample.

Masked, anisotropic thermal etching and regrowth for in situ patterning of compound semiconductors

To produce well-defined device structures having ultrasmall areas in compound semiconductors, it is necessary that lateral variations in doping and composition be realizable having interfacial quality comparable to that presently achieved vertically with techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). This letter describes a novel scheme involving the controlled, patterned sublimation of GaAs,...

Revealing the Dopant Incorporation Mechanisms into Vapor-Liquid-Solid Grown NWs Employing Nano-Prope Scanning Auger Microscopy

Nanowires (NWs) have been extensively studied over the last few decades for both scientific interest and technological potential. Semiconductor NWs’ physical properties are profoundly dependent on their chemical composition and especially so on their dopant concentration, profiles and activity level. Controlling NWs axial and radial dopant profiles is, therefore, of utmost importance for NW-bas...

A Theoretical Investigation for Electronics Structure of Mg(Bio2)2 Semiconductor Using First Principle Approach

The Mg(BiO2)2 is the orthorhombic crystal system acting as semiconductor in electric devices. To evaluate electronic band structures, the total density of state (TDOS) and the partial density of state (PDOS), Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) based on the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE0) was used for Mg(BiO2)2. The band gap was recorded at 0.959 eV, which is supported by a good semiconducto...
