AbstractIn order to form the deep PN junction demanded for the next generation IGBTs, the double-pulsed laser annealing technique as the low-thermal budget heat treatment has been introduced to activate a B-implant layer and a P-implant layer within the wafer surface to the depth 2μm. The double-pulsed laser annealing is characterized by the deep penetration depth due to a green wavelength of DPSS lasers and precisely and widely controlling of the annealing temperature and time. In the IGBT's structure the deep PN junction at a collector (the rear face) should be formed without damaging thermally circuit elements made of low melting point materials at a gate and an emitter (the front face).Ion-implant samples using eight-inch (100) Si wafers were prepared as follows: Boron (B) implant was performed at a dose of 1E+15/cm2 at an energy of 40keV and/or phosphorus (P) implant at 1E+13/cm2 at an energy of 400keV. The double-pulsed laser irradiation was carried out at the constant first and second pulse energy density E1=E2=1.8J/cm2 at the delay time td= 0-500ns and the overlap ratio OR=67-90%. The melt depth was up to about 0.3μm. The electrical activation ratio of the B-implant layer within the depth of about 0.6μm was improved from 91% to about 100% with the delay time increase of 0ns to 500ns. The activation ratio of the P-implant layer within the depth of about 2μm was drastically improved from 48% to 82% with the same delay time increase and the carriers in the P-implant layer were distributed deeply from the depth 1.1μm to 1.8μm. Furthermore, with the overlap ratio increase of 67% to 90% the carriers in the P-implant layer were distributed deeply from the depth 1.8μm to 1.9μm and the high activation ratio of 82% was maintained. The high ratio of electrical activation is supported by the defect-free epitaxial regrowth where the majority of the B dopants was diffused in the liquid phase and that of the P dopants in the solid phase.

Arsenic doped amorphous silicon layers have been deposited on silicon single crystals by R.F.cathodic sputtering of a silicon target in a reactive argon-hydrogen mixture, and annealed with a Q-switched Ruby laser. Topographic analysis of the irradiated layers has shown the formation of a crater, due to an evaporation effect of material which could be related to the presence of a high concentration of Ar in the amorphous layer. RBS and Raman Spectroscopy showed that the remaining layer is not recrystallised probably due to inhibition by the residual hydrogen. However, it was found that arsenic diffuses into the monocrystalline substrate by laser induced diffusion of dopant from the surface solid source, leading to the formation of good quality P-N junctions.
