Abstract

Shallow junctions were formed in single-crystal Si(100) by implantation of As at energies between 2 and 17.5 keV followed by conventional furnace annealing or by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) showed that defect-free shallow junctions could be formed at temperatures as low as 700 °C by RTA, with about 60% dopant activation. From a comparison of short-time and long-time annealing, it is proposed that surface image forces are responsible for the efficient removal of end-of-range (EOR) dislocation loops
