Activation of B and As in Ultrashallow Junction During Millisecond Annealing Induced by Thermal Plasma Jet Irradiation

抄録

<jats:p> We have investigated effects of annealing temperature and heating and cooling rates during millisecond annealing on the activation of B and As in the Si lattice. In the case of As<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>-implanted samples, efficient dopant activation was observed at a temperature higher than 1000 K, while it was observed at a temperature higher than 1400 K in the case of B-implanted samples. The sheet resistance (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>S</jats:sub>) of B-implanted samples monotonically decreases with temperature, and no significant dependence on heating rate (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>h</jats:sub>) or cooling rate (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>c</jats:sub>) is observed. On the other hand, As<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>-implanted samples show significant dependence of <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>S</jats:sub> on <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>h</jats:sub> and <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>c</jats:sub>. We have performed thermal plasma jet (TPJ) annealing on an As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> <jats:sup>+</jats:sup>-implanted sample, and obtained an ultrashallow junction (USJ) with a junction depth (<jats:italic>X</jats:italic> <jats:sub>j</jats:sub>) of 11.9 nm and a <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>S</jats:sub> of 1095 Ω/sq. B USJ is also obtained with a <jats:italic>X</jats:italic> <jats:sub>j</jats:sub> of 23.5 nm and a <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>S</jats:sub> of 392 Ω/sq. Precise control of <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>h</jats:sub> and <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>c</jats:sub> in addition to annealing temperature is quite important for achieving highly efficient doping in USJ. </jats:p>
