Abstract

We have studied ion-implantation damage effects on boron clustering and transient enhanced diffusion (TED) by using polyatomic boron (Bn-, n = 1-3) ion implantation with the same atomic boron dose and energy. This Bn- series implantation can produce different amounts of damage with the same boron as-implanted profile and same amount of excess interstitials, hence a net effect of implantation damage can be extracted. Secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements indicate that for 1 keV boron atomic energy implantation and 10 s 1050 °C rapid thermal annealing, B1- implantation has less TED and less boron-interstitial clustering than B2- and B3- implantation. A boron trapping peak at the SiO2/Si interface is also speculated since the amount of boron trapped is correlated to the size of implanted ions.
