Simulation of BF3 Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation into Silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 simulation code. An analytical model of plasma immersion ion implantation that assumes a uniform and isotropic implantation was implemented in a software module called IMP3D. The functionality of this module which was initially envisaged for the three-dimensional simulation of conventional ion implantation was extended to plasma immersion ion implantation and examples of 2D and 3D simulations from this are presented.

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...

Aluminum oxide (AlOx) and plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) were studied in relation to passivated silicon heterojunction solar cells. When aluminum oxide (AlOx) was deposited on the surface of a wafer; the electric field near the surface of wafer was enhanced; and the mobility of the carrier was improved; thus reducing carrier traps associated with dangling bonds. Using PIII enabled imp...
