A study of the layer and junction properties of boron implantation in silicon

Abstract
Results of sheet conductivity and Hall effect measurements on boron implanted silicon samples are reported for both isothermal and isochronal annealing sequences. The activation energy of the implanted atoms was calculated and its dependence on implantation dose and substrate temperature during implantation is studied. From the behaviour of I/V characteristics during the annealing process, the location and activation energy associated with the quenching of the generation/recombination centres is derived.
