ABSTRACTThis bibliography presents 342 references to work published on rapid thermal processing (RTP) from 1979 through mid-1985. A variety of broad-beam energy sources are represented, including: arc and quartz-halogen lamps, blackbody radiators, strip heaters, broadly rastered electron beams, and defocused CO2 lasers. Citations were obtained by both manual searching and searching of a commercially available computerized data base (I NSPEC). Entries are grouped under 13 topical headings: reviews, implanted dopant activation and diffusion in silicon, polycrystalline silicon, silicides and polycides, metals, dielectrics, compound semiconductors, defects and microstructure, device applications (silicon and compound semiconductors), miscellaneous applications, equipment, and modeling. Within each group, citations are arranged alphabetically by title. A full author index is provided.

ABSTRACTThe use of Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) for the activation of silicon ion implanted channel layers in GaAs MESFET devices has been studied. Tungsten-halogen lamp and Water-wall DC arc lamp RTP have been compared. The arc lamp gave superior abruptness of the carrier concentration profile (78% at 850°C for 15 seconds or 1000°C for 2 seconds) and dopant activation greater than 60%. These parameters are important to achieve good MESFETs fabricated using arc lamp RTP was also studied. The transconductance (gm) of the devices usinq RTP was 78mS/mm which is much higher than achieved with similar samples using furnace annealing. Both capped and capless RTP was examined. Although capped annealing generally yields superior surface quality, the capless annealing provided good electrical properties in a process window which also yielded adequate surface quality and good devices.

AbstractWhile repeatable and accurate measurement of temperature in rapid thermal processing (RTP) remains a subject of ongoing research, inception of large-diameter wafers and deep subhalf micron design rules may be viewed as good news for implementing RTP during the development phase for later transfer to volume manufacturing. To date, the only well-established application of RTP in manufacturing is silicide annealing. However, research during the past decade has demonstrated the feasibility of using RTP to replace essentially all furnace-based thermal processes in sub-half micron process flows. These developments in the RTP capability offer several technological and economic benefits such as improved defect control, higher product yields, and faster development cycles for DRAM-type technologies at a reduced cost and with an earlier entry of the driver products during the revenue-generating period.In this paper, we review several applications of RTP such as silicide anneals, borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) reflow, dopant activation, and rapid thermal nitridation (RTN) and discuss the integration issues related to advanced process flows. Furthermore, we highlight important manufacturing parameters like throughput, machine cost and uptime, software and hardware issues, wafer dimensional analysis, and simulation expectations. While considering volume manufacturing, we make some calibration and process control recommendations.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal processing using halogen lamps was applied to the diffusion of Zn into GaAs0.6 P0.4:Te from Zn-doped oxide films. The Zn diffusion coefficient of the rapid thermal diffused (RTD) samples at 800°C for 6 s was about two orders of magnitude higher than that of the conventional furnace diffused samples at 800°C for 60 min. The enhanced diffusion of Zn by RTD may be ascribed to the stress field due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the doped oxide films and GaAs0.6P0.4 materials, and due to the temperature gradient in GaAs0.6P0 4 materials. The Zn diffusion coefficient at Zn concentration of 1.0 × l018 cm−3 was 3.6 × 10−11, 3.1 × 10−11 and 5.0 × 10−12 cm2 /s for the RTD samples at 950°C for 6 s from Zn-, (Zn,Ga)- and (Zn,P)-doped oxide films, respectively. This suggests that Zn diffusibility was controlled by the P in the doped oxide films.
