ABSTRACTThe diffusion and activation of implanted boron in silicon during rapid thermal annealing (RTA) has been studied using the analytical techniques of SIMS, TEM, and sheet resistance measurements. Both crystalline and pre-amorphised silicon substrates were investigated. Data analysis in conjunction with a range of numerical models indicates some novel features of boron RTA, as well as accounting for previously observed features. In particular, a large transient diffusion enhancement coupled with an increase of electrical activity, are seen at short anneal times, in the case of crystalline silicon substrates. A non-equilibrium diffusion enhancement of a different type is also seen at much longer times, in both crystalline and pre-amorphised samples implanted to high doses. This second enhancement persists after all the precipitated boron formed on implantation has become substitutional. TEM studies show that the transient enhancement may be associated with the evolution of extended defect structures during the early stages of annealing. Both types of enhancement can be well represented by multiplying the ‘normal’ concentration-dependent diffusivity (with β=0.5) by a factor f>1.

ABSTRACTThe diffusion and activation of ion implanted boron and BF2 during rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was modeled by considering the reaction kinetics between point defects and boron. The diffusion model uses the Monte Carlo generated point defect profiles, an extended defect model and a surface amorphization model for high dose BF2 implantation. Excellent simulation results have been achieved by using a single set of diffusion and kinetic parameters to model the enhanced diffusion of boron during RTA for a wide range of B and BF2 implant doses.

AbstractWe comparatively studied the formation of ultra thin Co silicides, Co2Si, CoSi and CoSi2, with/without a Ti-capped and Ti-mediated layer by using rapid thermal annealing in a N2 ambient. Four-point-probe sheet resistance measurements and plan-view electron diffraction were used to characterize the silicides as well as the epitaxial characteristics of CoSi2 with Si. We found that the formation of the Co silicides and their existing duration are strongly influenced by the presence of a Ti-capped and Ti-mediated layer. A Ti-capped layer promotes significantly CoSi formation but suppresses Co2Si, and delays CoSi2, which advantageously increases the silicidation-processing window. A Ti-mediated layer acting as a diffusion barrier to the supply of Co suppresses the formation of both Co2Si and CoSi but energetically favors directly forming CoSi2. Plan-view electron diffraction studies indicated that both a Ti-capped and Ti-mediated layer could be used to form ultra thin epitaxial CoSi2 silicide.
