AbstractSi29 implants have been performed in InGaAs and InAlAs single layers as well as in InGaAs/InAlAs heterostructures. Nearly 100% activation has been obtained in InGaAs after conventional furnace annealing or rapid thermal annealing. On the other hand, a low activation efficiency (30%) has been observed in InAlAs. A preliminary photoluminescence measurements study shows that an appreciable fraction of Si exists in the form of complex centers. Hall effect and specific contact resistivity maps carried out in the heterostructures indicate a very good homogeneity of the electrical parameters over a 4 cm2 sample and give a satisfactory value of the specific contact resistivity (10−7 ω.cm2)

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing (RTA) is used to form shallow and heavily-doped contact regions in undoped, semi-insulating GaAs. These layers are formed by using a high-intensity tungstenhalogen lamp to diffuse germanium and selenium from a deposited GeSe thin-film. RTA reduces surface degradation and permits better control of the diffusion profile than conventional furnace annealing. Optimal 20-second RTA occurs above a diffusion threshold at 950°C but below the failure of the SiO2 encapsulant at 1100°C. The n+ regions created have peak impurity concentrations over 1020/cm3 at depths under 750 Å with sheet resistances less than 60 Ω/▩. Non-alloyed ohmic contacts exhibit specific contact resistivites of 2.2 × 10−4 Ω · cm−2.

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.
