ABSTRACTWe have implemented an atomistic simulation of the Ostwald ripening of extrinsic defects (clusters, {113}'s and dislocation loops) which occurs during annealing of ion implanted silicon. Our model describes the concomitant time evolution of the defects and of the supersaturation of Si interstitial atoms in the region. It accounts for the capture and emission of these interstitials to and from extrinsic defects (defined by their formation energy) of sizes up to thousands of atoms and includes a loss term due to the interstitial flux to the surface. This model reproduces well the dissolution of {113} defects in Si implanted wafers. We have subsequently studied the characteristics of TED in the case of B implantation at low and ultra low energy. In such cases, the distance between the defect layer and the surface plays a crucial role in determining the TED decay time. The simulations show that defect dissolution occurs earlier and for smaller sizes in the ultra-low energy regime. Under such conditions, TED is mostly characterized by its “pulse” component which takes place at the very beginning of the anneal, probably during the ramping up. In summary, we have shown that the physical modelling of the formation and of the growth of extrinsic defects leads to a correct prediction of the “source term” of Si interstitials and at the origin of TED.

ABSTRACTThe diffusion of Sb and B markers has been studied in vacancy supersaturations produced by MeV Si implantation in float zone (FZ) silicon and bonded etch-back silicon-on-insulator (BESOI) substrates. MeV Si implantation produces a vacancy supersaturated near-surface region and an interstitial-rich region at the projected ion range. Transient enhanced diffusion (TED) of Sb in the near surface layer was observed as a result of a 2 MeV Si+, 1×1016/cm2, implant. A 4× larger TED of Sb was observed in BESOI than in FZ silicon, demonstrating that the vacancy supersaturation persists longer in BESOI than in FZ. B markers in samples with MeV Si implant showed a factor of 10× smaller diffusion relative to markers without the MeV Si+ implant. This data demonstrates that a 2 MeV Si+ implant injects vacancies into the near surface region.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes ultra shallow junction formation using 0.5 keV B+/BF2+ implantation, which has the advantage of a reduced channeling tail and no transient enhanced diffusion. In the case of l × 1014 cm−2, 0.5 keV BF2 implantation a junction depth of 19 nm is achieved after RTA at 950°C.

The carbon (C) co-implantation and advanced flash anneal were employed to form the ultra shallow junction (USJ) for future nano CMOS technology applications. The effects of the C co-implantation process on dopant transient enhanced diffusion (TED) of the phosphorus (P) doped nano USJ NMOSFETs were investigated in details. The USJ NMOSFETs were prepared by a foundry’s 55 nano CMOS technology. Various implantation energies and doses for both C and P ions were employed. Results show the suppression of the TED is strongly dependent on both C and P implantation conditions. Besides, the mechanisms of P TED and suppression by C ion co-implantation were illustrated comprehensively with schematic models.
