Thermal Annealing of Shallow Implanted Phosphorus in Si(100)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
The effect of channeling on the diffusion of ion implanted phosphorus in silicon has been investigated. Silicon samples, implanted with 25–100 keV P along the [100] channeling and the random equivalent directions, were subjected to thermal annealing over a temperature range of 600–1050 °C. Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) and Spreading Resistance Probe (SRP) have been used to determine the atomic and carrier concentration depth profiles, respectively. The findings show that after annealing, the P profiles by implantation along the random equivalent direction can be kept shallower than the profiles obtained by implantation along the [100] channeling direction. Through proper annealing and electrical activation, only minimal diffusion in the tail region of the profiles occurred. For 50 keV P at 1×1015 at./cm2, changing the implantation from the [100] to the random equivalent direction leads to a reduction in the profile depth of about 50% (at 1×1017at./cm3). After 10 seconds of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 1050 °C, the profile depth remains more than 30% shallower than the channeled profile.
