Ion beam and temperature annealing during high dose implants

Abstract
The regrowth of a Si amorphous layer under a masked region during an implant of 120 keV–7.5×1015 P+/cm2 at an average dose rate of 9.0 μA/cm2 has been measured by the channeling technique. The amorphous layer reorders epitaxially over ∼20 nm after the implant, in agreement with calculations based on the temperature dose rise and regrowth velocity. A single implant of 7.5×1015 P+/cm2 produces a nearly damage‐free region implying a regrowth rate enhanced by the large amount of mobile point defects generated in the collision cascade of the impinging ions.
