Dopant Incorporation of Boron Implanted Silicon During Rapid Thermal Annealing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Surface layer damage of boron implanted (100) silicon crystals were characterized by x-ray rocking curves using computer fitting procedures. The implantation was carried out at ion energy of 130 KeV with the dose of 1*1016 atoms/cm2. The in-depth strain distribution of the surface layer after rapid thermal annealing was discussed based on x-ray rocking curve observation. It is clearly revealed that the strain profile reverses completely from the positive (tensile) strain in the as-implanted condition to the negative (compressive) strain after annealing. This change is ascribed to the incorporation of boron atoms from interstitial sites to substitutional positions. The results were also compared with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations.
