Abstract
B+ implanted p+n diodes were fabricated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the temperature range 700 - 1100°C. Values of series resistance of diodes decreased with the annealing temperatures. Leakage current (Ir) was independent of the RTA temperatures. Residual defect concentrations increased in the range 700 - 900°C and decreased in the range 1000 - 1100°C. Concentrations of defects with the energy levels of Ec- 0.33 and Ec - 0.48 eV were ∼ 1012 cm−3 for diodes fabricated at 1100°C. The growth of defects in the range 700 - 900°C was ascribed to the diffusion of defects from the implanted layer during annealing.
