ABSTRACT:

We investigated the thermal behavior of defects remaining in low-dose (<;1013 cm-two) arsenic- and boron-implanted Si once high-temperature (110zero °C) speedy thermal annealing (RTA). The defects remaining once RTA were characterised as vacancy-kind defects, and confirmed to be created by nonequilibrium states that occur during the extremely speedy cooling step of the RTA sequence. They were gradually removed by applying extra furnace annealing (FA) (i.e., thermal equilibrium heating process) at 300-four hundred °C. At the vary of five hundred-60zero °C, but, carbon- and oxygen-related purpose defects were newly created. These defects were confirmed to be eliminated at 70zero °C, and also the crystal quality was considerably improved. When employing a speedy thermal method for heat treatment when low-dose impurity implantation, it is necessary to apply an equilibrium thermal treatment at >700 °C to get rid of residual injury in addition on activate impurities.
