Investigation of Fluorine Effect on the Boron Diffusion by Mean of Boron Redistribution in Shallow Delta-doped Layers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
Previously published articles have shown that co-implanted fluorine reduces transient enhanced diffusion of boron. However, it is not yet elucidated whether this effect is due to interaction of fluorine with point-defects or boron atoms. In this work, we have used boron redistribution in a shallow Delta-doped Si structures in order to get some insights into the role of fluorine in the boron diffusion. The structures consisted of 3 boron-doped layers separated by 40nm-thick undoped silicon. The samples were given to Ge preamorphization and F co-implant. SIMS depth profiling was used to analyse boron redistribution after annealing. The results we obtained strongly suggest that fluorine is not interacting with point-defects. The reduction in boron TED is most probably due to boron-fluorine interaction.
