Abstract
AbstractSynchrotron white beam x-ray topography in transmission geometry has been used to monitor the damage accompanying a Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) treatment of Si wafers. The behavior of low and high carbon-content Si is contrasted and discussed. The applicability of this technique to this kind of study is demonstrated, with particular emphasis being laid on its non-destructive nature. The general usefulness of the technique as a monitor for damage accompanying IC processing is discussed.
