Abstract
Low energy, shallow BF2+ implants were carried out at room or liquid nitrogen temperature into deep pre-amorphized (100) Si for better control of the dopant profile and post-annealing structural defects. Cross sectional and angle polished plan view transmission electron microscopy were used to study the structural quality of the implanted layer, while SIMS provided a chemical profile. Four types of structural defects were observed in BF2+ implanted, pre-amorphized samples following rapid thermal annealing with a halogen lamp. An in-situ ion beam annealing and the presence of F in the Si lattice were related to the creation of the defects. Good correlations between F gettering and TEM observed defects were found to exist. Implantation of B+ into a pre-amorphized Si surface and subsequent rapid thermal annealing was found to produce a wide defect-free surface layer.Keywords
