Relaxation Behavior of Metastable As and P Concentrations in Si After Pulsed and CW Laser Annealing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Metastable solid solutions of arsenic and phosphorus atoms were created by high-dose ion implantation in silicon, followed by annealing either with pulsed (Nd:YAG) or CW (CO2;) laser irradiation. The relaxation of these supersaturated layers was investigated by thermal post-treatment at temperatures between 600 and 1000°C. By measuring the time dependence of the sheet carrier concentration, the time constant and the activation energies for the relaxation of the electrically-active As and P atoms were investigated. In addition, the equilibrium carrier concentrations at different temperatures were obtained by Halleffect measurements in connection with a layer-removal technique.
