ABSTRACTSilicide formation induced by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and conventional furnace annealing (CFA) in bilayers of sequentially deposited films of amorphous silicon and polycrystalline Co or Ni is studied with RBS, X-ray diffraction and TEM. Particular attention is paid to the reliability of the RTA temperature measurements in the study of the growth kinetics of the first interfacial compound, Co2Si and Ni2Si, for both RTA and CFA. It is found that the same diffusion-controlled kinetics applies for the silicide formation by RTA in argon and CFA in vacuum with a common activation energy of 2.1+0.2eV for Co2Si and 1.3+0.2eV for Ni Si. Co and Ni atoms are the dominant diffusing species; during silicide formation by both RTA and CFA. The microstructures of the Ni-silicide formed by the two annealing techniques, however, differs considerably from each other, as revealed by cross-sectional TEM studies.

AbstractRapid thermal annealed tail regions of shallow junction arsenic implants into silicon have been investigated. Tail profiles have been roduced by an anodic oxidation and stripping technique after implantation to fluences of 1014 to 1016 cm−2 and by implanting through a layer of silicon dioxide. Electrical activation and diffusion have been achieved by rapid thermal annealing in the temperature range of 800 to 1100 °C. Electrically active defects remain after annealing. Spreading resistance and deep level transient spectroscopy results are presented. The diffusion of the arsenic tail is discussed and compared with currently accepted models.

ABSTRACTElectrical activation and carrier mobility have been studied as a function of ion dose and annealing temperature for InP implanted with Group IV elements (Si, Ge and Sn). In general, electrical activation increases with decreasing ion dose and/or increasing annealing temperature. Si and Sn exhibit comparable activation and mobility, superior to that of Ge, over the ion dose and temperature range examined. The relative influences of implantation-induced non-stoichiometry and the amphoteric behaviour of the group IV elements have been investigated. For the latter, the amphoteric behavior of Ge > Si > Sn.

AbstractMeasurement of resistance in-situ during rapid thermal annealing is a powerful technique for process characterization and optimization. A major advantage of in-situ resistance measurements is the very rapid process learning. With silicides, in-situ resistance measurements can quickly determine an appropriate thermal process in which a low resistance silicide phase is formed without the agglomeration or inversion of silicide/polycrystalline silicon structures. One example is an optimized two step anneal for CoSi2 formation which was developed in less than one day. Examples of process characterization include determining the phase formation kinetics of TiSi2 (C49 and C54), Co2Si, and CoSi2 using in-situ ramped resistance measurements. The stability of TiSi2 or CoSi2/poly-Si structures has also been characterized by isothermal measurements. Resistance measurements have been made at heating rates from 1 to 100°C/s and temperatures up to 1000°C. The sample temperature was calibrated by melting Ag, Al, or Au/Si eutectics.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing has been used to study the electrical activation mechanisms for magnesium and selenium implants in GaAs. By analysing the changes in electrical activity as a function of annealing time and temperature, a model has been developed which accurately predicts the electrical properties following the post-implant annealing stage. The model has been used to study the activation of other ions, particularly zinc, beryllium, tin and sulphur, the results of which will be compared with those of magnesium and selenium. The results suggest that the mechanism for electrical activation is dominated by the diffusion of gallium, arsenic or vacancies. The paper will present the model and discuss the activation mechanisms of the ions.
