Diffusion-limited interaction of dislocation loops and interstitials during dry oxidation in silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interaction of implantation-induced dislocation loops and interstitials in silicon is studied. Experiments under dry oxidation conditions consistently show a significant reduction of OED (oxidation enhanced diffusion) of boron in a buried layer due to very efficient interstitial capturing action of dislocation loops, suggesting diffusion-limited dislocation loop growth. Simple analytic solution of interstitial supersaturation and analysis of the data in terms of time dependence of the OED suppression demonstrate that the interaction of dislocation loops and interstitials is not a reaction-limited but a diffusion-limited process. Simulations incorporating the model for the interaction mechanism agree with both secondary ion mass spectroscopy and transmission electron spectroscopy data.

A study of point defect detectors created by Si and Ge implantation
Short-time/low-temperature thermal oxidation is known to lead to point defect perturbations in silicon. This study investigates the interaction between oxidation-induced point defects and type II dislocation loops intentionally introduced in silicon via ion implantation. The type II (end-of-range) dislocation loops were introduced via implantation of either Sif ions at 50 keV or Ge+ ions at 100...

A boron doped epilayer was used to investigate the interaction between end of range dislocation loops (formed from Gef implantation) and excess point defects generated from a low dose 1 X 10’4/cm2 Bf implant into silicon. The boron doping spike was grown in by chemical vapor deposition at a depth of 8000 A below the surface. The intrinsic diffusivity of the boron in the doped epilayer was deter...
متن کاملA Point Defect Based Two-Dimensional Model of the Evolution of Dislocation Loops in Silicon during Oxidation
A point defect based model is developed in two dimensions for the evolution of a group of dislocation loops induced by high dose ion implantation in silicon. Assuming an asymmetric triangular density distribution of periodically oriented circular dislocation loops provides an efficient model reflecting the nonuniform morphology of the loops as observed in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ...
متن کاملA comparison of boron and phosphorus diffusion and dislocation loop growth from silicon implants into silicon
Transient enhanced diffusion �TED� results from implantation damage creating enhanced diffusion of dopants in silicon. This phenomenon has mostly been studied using boron marker layers. We have performed an experiment using boron, phosphorus, and dislocation markers to compare TED effects. This experiment shows that phosphorus is enhanced significantly more than boron during damage annealing. D...
متن کاملQuantitative measurement of the surface silicon interstitial boundary condition and silicon interstitial injection into silicon during oxidation
During the oxidation of silicon, interstitials are generated at the oxidizing surface and diffuse into the silicon. Boron diffusion was used to map the local interstitial supersaturation, the ratio of interstitial concentration to the equilibrium concentration of interstitials versus the distance above buried Si0.795Ge0.2C0.005 layers during oxidation. The average interstitial supersaturation a...
