Abstract

The diffusion of various dopants( B, P, As, and Sb) in (111) silicon during high temperature( 1100°C ) heat treatment in nitrogen depends on the capping layers, i.e., SiO2, Si3 N4, and SiO2 + Si3 N4, layers. The junction motion of all dopants were retar ed in the bare silicon compared with that in the SiO2 + Si3 N4 capped silicon. The apparently retarded junction motion of As and sb diffused specimens in the bare silicon is due to the severe out-diffusion loss of dopant atoms and As and Sb diffusion are in fact enhanced during thermal nitridation of silicon in N2.
