Abstract
ABSTRACTLow energy implantation is currently the most promising option for shallow junction formation in the next generations of silicon CMOS technology. Of the dopants that have to be implanted, boron is the most problematic because of its low stopping power (large penetration depth) and its tendency to undergo transient enhanced diffusion and clustering during thermal activation. This paper reports recent advances in our understanding of low energy B implants in crystalline silicon. In general, satisfactory source-drain junction depths and sheet resistances are achievable down to 0.18 micron CMOS technology without the need for implantation of molecular species such as BF2. With the help of defect engineering it may be possible to reach smaller device dimensions. However, there are some major surprises in the physical mechanisms involved in implant profile formation, transient enhanced diffusion and electrical activation of these implants, which may influence further progress with this technology. Some initial attempts to understand and model these effects will be described.
