Abstract
AbstractRecent results indicate that thermal budgets associated with ion implantation induced end of range damage removal is affected by the presence of a free surface. Low energy BF2 implants (6 keV) were done into both single crystal and Ge preamorphized silicon substrates. Rapid thermal processing was used to study the residual end of range defect structure in the temperature range from 700 to 1000°C. 6 keV, 5E14 cm-2 BF2 implantation resulted in formation of continuous amorphous layers approximately 10 nm deep with a mean B penetration of approximately 7 nm. Conventional TEM analysis found the structures to be completely free of any spanning “hairpin” dislocations or stacking faults associated with the BF2 implant for all the annealing temperatures. For anneals between 700 °C and 900°C end of range damage formation resulted, but the size of the dislocation loops remained small. Annealing at 1000°C, 10 seconds showed no evidence of residual end of range damage. Location of the end of range damage region close to the free surface was found to decrease the thermal budget required for the removal of ion implantation induced radiation damage.
