Notes:
The evolution of the electrical activation with the annealing time in B+ implanted (5.0×1014 cm−2, 50 keV) Si was studied as a function of the annealing temperature. Electrical activation yields of 15%–30% were observed after annealing for 2 s at temperatures above 550 °C. Prolonging the annealing time from 2 to 900 s we observed that the electrical activation evolves differently according to the temperature: (i) at 550 °C〈T〈700 °C it decreases toward an equilibrium level, (ii) at 700 °C〈T〈800 °C it decreases during the first minutes and subsequently increases again, and (iii) at temperatures 〈550 °C or T(approximately-greater-than)800 °C it increases continuously. In order to explain the carrier removal observed during annealing at 550–800 °C we proposed that metastable acceptor centers are formed during the B+ implantation and/or the initial period of the annealing time. Interaction of Si self-interstitial atoms with these centers leads to their neutralization and/or dissociation with consequent decreasing of the carrier concentration. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
