Two-side surface photovoltage studies for implanted iron diffusion in silicon during rapid thermal anneal
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-side surface photovoltage TS-SPV based on measuring SPV from both wafer sides is proposed as the approach for silicon iron contamination monitoring. TS-SPV is applied to follow diffusion of implanted iron in a lightly doped p-type silicon during rapid thermal anneal RTA . Good correlation is found between the iron distribution versus RTA conditions in the range of 375–1100 °C. The impact of thermal donors in silicon after RTA at below 700 °C is illustrated. The portion of iron detectable by SPV FeB pairs is found as a function of RTA time and temperature. Iron diffusion activation energy was evaluated for the interstitial ionized iron Fei+ and for the interstitial neutral iron Fei0. Low thermal budget RTA combined with TS-SPV has been proven to be an effective iron contamination monitor to identify contamination sources, character, and location. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3275045

Athermal, Photonic Effects on Boron Diffusion and Activation in Silicon during Microwave Rapid Thermal Annealing
Fabrication of sub-micron silicon integrated circuits (IC’s) requires ultra-shallow, high-dose ion implantation of dopant atoms, e.g., boron, followed by a rapid, high-temperature anneal. Since the implantation process damages the crystal lattice structure, the anneal is expected to repair this damage and react the implanted B atoms into Si lattice sites while minimizing inward diffusion of the...

Redistributions of implanted species after thermal annealing in polycrystalline silicon (poly-silicon) were studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry. Ten different elements were implanted into poly-silicon films grown on Si substrates. The implanted energies were chosen such that the expected ion range is within the poly-silicon film. Thermal anneals were carried out at temperatures between 3...

This study investigates the effectiveness of flash-assist rapid thermal processing in dissolving the end of range damage inherent to preamorphizing implants. A series of silicon wafers is preamorphized with a Ge implant and subsequently implanted with B. The wafers are then subjected to a flash anneal, a rapid thermal anneal, or both annealing processes. The flash anneal results in higher defec...

The effect of annealing temperature and time on the formation of threading dislocations was investigated for high energy boron implants into silicon. 1 MeV B was implanted at a dose of 1310/cm into ^100& Si wafers. The wafers were subsequently annealed in either a rapid thermal annealing ~RTA! furnace or a conventional furnace for times between 1 s and 1 h at temperatures between 700 and 1150 °...
