AbstractPreamorphization implant (PAI) prior to dopant implantation, followed by solid phase epitaxial regrowth (SPER) is of great interest due to its ability to form highly-activated ultra-shallow junctions. Coupled with growing interest in the use of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, modeling and simulating the influence of SOI structure on damage evolution and ultra-shallow junction formation is required. In this work, we use a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulator to model the different mechanisms involved in the process of ultra-shallow junction formation, including amorphization, recrystallization, defect interaction and evolution, as well as dopant-defect interaction in both bulk silicon and SOI. Simulation results of dopant concentration profiles and dopant activation are in good agreement with experimental data and can provide important insight for optimizing the process in bulk silicon and SOI.

ABSTRACTWe demonstrate in this paper the viability of an ultra-low thermal budget CMOS process enabling the formation of ultra shallow junctions with competitive transistor characteristics. In particular, we demonstrate in this work the influence of defects on chemical and electrical results. It is shown that the use of self-amorphizing implantation with BF2for Source/Drain, reduces the junction leakage by two decades.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the origins of sheet resistance increase in ultra shallow junctions formed by low energy As or Sb implantation. The increase is mainly attributed to dopant loss during annealing due to pileup of dopant at Si02/Si interface. This problem is common to As and Sb and will become more significant as the implantation energies are decreased. We found that the pileup can be classified into two stages from the time dependence of Sb SIMS depth profile .In the early stage of annealing the pileup is very fast and is probably related to the transport of the dopants due to solid phase epitaxial growth of an amorphized layer formed by the implantation. In the later stage the pileup is much slower and is considered to be governed by dopant diffusion.
