ABSTRACTIntegrated detection of light propagating in an optical waveguide by a photodetector array fabricated directly on the waveguide surface is demonstrated. Laser recrystallization of LPCVD polysilicon patterned with periodically-spaced anti-reflection stripes is utilized. Lateral p-i-n photodiode elements formed by ion implantation are characterized by reverse leakage currents of < 10−11 amp and a typical breakdown voltage of 50 volts. Optical response is found to be linear over a dynamic range of greater than 55 dB.

ABSTRACTSeeding from bulk silicon (lateral epitaxy) has been used in Ar+ laser recrystallization to achieve subboundary free silicon on insulator areas. On these areas C.MOS devices have been performed using almost entirely the standard processing steps of a bulk micronic C-MOS technology. n -MOS transistors with channel length as small as 0.3 um have shown very small leakage currents. This is attributed especially to the lack of subboundaries. A 40 % increase in the dynamic performances in comparison with equivalent size C-MOS bulk devices has been obtained (93 ps of delay time per stage for a 101 stages ring oscillator with 0.8 μm of channel length). This is the best result presented so far on recrystallized SOI. No special requirements are needed in the lay out of the circuit with the chosen seed structure. Furthermore an industrial processing rate for the laser recrystallization processing has been achieved using an elliptical laser beam, a high scan velocity (30 cm/s) and a 100 μm line to line scan step (a 4' wafer in 4 minutes).

AbstractIt is shown that defects generated by ion implantation, remaining after annealing at low temperature, are deep-distributed in the bulk silicon and their amount is demonstrated to be function of the substrate type and the implanted ion species. The confirmation that defects penetrate deeply into the silicon is made by a new method that consists in damaging by ion implantation a previously formed pn junction that shows very low leakage current and has a deep junction. It is proposed that the dopants in the substrate act as nucleation centers for the formation of point defect clusters and that these clusters actually degrade the junction. It was found that point defects penetrate much more deeply in p+n junctions than in n+p junctions. It was also found that BF2+ introduces much more defects into the silicon than As+, owing to the presence of fluorine. The leakage currents at 5 V of n+p and p+n diodes made by implantation of P+ and B+, respectively, could be lowered by one to two orders of magnitude with respect to values obtained by implantation of As+ and BF2+ because the former ones produce less defects than the latter.
