Study of BF2 ion implantation into crystalline silicon : Influence of fluorine on boron diffusion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
We have investigated and modeled the diffusion of boron implanted into crystalline silicon in the form of boron difluoride BF2+. Low energy BF2+ 1×1015 cm−2 implantations at 2.0keV were characterized using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) in order to measure dopant profiles. RTA was carried out at 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C and 1100°C during 10s, 20s, 30s and 60s. The results show that concentration profiles for BF2+ implant are shallower than those for a direct B+ ion implantation. This could be attributed to the presence of fluorine which trap interstitial Si so that interstitial silicon supersaturation is low near the surface.
