AbstractElectronic deep levels in GaAs have been investigated by correlated luminescence and DLTS measurements on material in which the defects were systematically perturbed by rapid thermal annealing. The samples were grown by MOCVD and encapsulated with silicon nitride. Annealing was performed at temperatures from 800°C to 950°C for 5 seconds. The luminescence spectra were measured from 0.7 to 1.6 eV at temperatures from 4-80 K and have features at 0.97, 1.17, 1.35, 1.40 and 1.5 eV. The band-to-acceptor luminescence shows the formation of Si acceptors, starting at an anneal temperature of about 850°C. The luminescence peak at 1,35 eV, attributed to As vacancy - acceptor complexes, is observed to increase in intensity with higher annealing temperatures. In contrast, the Ga vacancy-donor complex peak at 1,17 eV decreases in intensity. DLTS data show an increase in the density of deep levels and new levels not present in the unannealed material. Capacitance-voltage data find a reduction in carrier concentration, although type conversion is not observed even after annealing to 950°C.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing (RTA) techniques have been developed to activate shallow, high dose implants in InGaAs. Activation of deep, multiple energy high dose beryllium implants was also investigated. Two-step RTA cycles which peaked at a high temperature momentarily and then held at a lower temperature for 3 to 10 seconds were used to activate the implanted dopants. Over 80% activation was achieved. The results are superior to furnace anneal results, and at least comparable to graphite strip heater results. Increasing the anneal temperature on higher dose implants, however, type conversion was observed when the peak temperature exceeded a certain value.

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.
