Abstract

The solid phase epitaxial regrowth process and its reverse annealing behavior was studied with a second-step annealing at temperatures ranging from 650 to 950 °centigrade in 1 keV boron and 5 keV boron fluoride implanted wafers. Secondary ion mass spectrometry, four-point probe and transmission electron microscopy were used for dopant diffusion, activation and microstructure analysis. Results indicated that boron deactivation during second-step annealing was correlated with transient enhanced diffusion and end of range defect evolution. Boron fluoride implanted wafer showed slower SPE regrowth rate at 550 °centigrade annealing than boron implanted wafer.
