Light-Induced, Short-Time Annealing of Silicon-Implanted Layers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Short time anneal experiments were performed in a specially developed annealing system based on a bank of Tungsten-Halogen lamps. The annealing process during the temperature transient was studied as a function of the illumination time with the system operating in the constant maximum power regime. By using this procedure it was shown that electrical activation of all elements (B, P, As) considered in this study is completed within the transient period without noticeable diffusion. Redistribution of the implanted profiles was only observed for longer times after the steady state temperature was reached. Pre-amorphization with Argon is found to significantly alter and retard the annealing behaviour.
