Abstract

CW laser annealing has been performed on silicon on sapphire (SOS) implanted with boron or phosphorus ions to a dose of 1015 ions/cm2 . The laser irradiation was done both with and without an oxide layer on top of the silicon and from both the silicon and the sapphire side. Sheet resistivity and Hall effect measurements were used for the analysis of the samples. Good annealing and high activation of the dopants were obtained for both oxidized and unoxidized SOS. For samples irradiated from the silicon side, the needed laser power changed depending on the thickness of the oxide. For samples irradiated from the sapphire side, the needed laser power was independent of oxide thickness.
