    Notes: Oxide dilation in thin films is analyzed using a Voigt viscoelastic model. If stress-dependent viscosity is used to model the dilation, a logarithmic time evolution is predicted. The form of the solution is in agreement with the non-Maxwellian behavior seen in experimental data. The analysis provides an estimate of the critical stress and low-stress viscosity of dry SiO2 films.

    Notes: A plastic flow model is used to calculate the stress generated during thermal oxidation of silicon cylinders. The analysis is used to estimate stress as a function of thickness, radius of curvature, and temperature. The oxidation stress is much lower than previous analyses.

    Notes: Is silicon dioxide a viscous liquid or an elastic solid at silicon processing temperatures? Simple calculations using either assumption lead to gross discrepancies with experimental observations. This letter shows that a plastic flow model resolves these discrepancies. Flow develops much sooner than predicted by a linear viscoelastic model. Large deformations (〈5%) are accommodated almost entirely by plastic flow. Small deformations are accommodated either elastically or by plastic flow depending on temperature.

    Notes: The diffusion of Sb and B in thin Si films grown by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy is investigated in the temperature range 750–900 °C for times of 0.25–60 h. The small spatial extent of the initial δ-function-like dopant profiles allows the detection of very small diffusional displacements. The dopant atoms are used as tracers of Si point defects (vacancies and self-interstitials). Diffusion of Sb is found to be enhanced relative to equilibrium values, while that of B is retarded. We propose a model based on an initial supersaturation of vacancies. Matching this model to the experimental data allows the extraction of the vacancy diffusivity, the activation energy of vacancy formation, and the recombination lifetime of interstitials. The results show that interstitial and vacancy populations cannot be considered independent at low temperature, as has been previously suggested.

    Notes: The effects of low-dose ion implants with Si+, Ne+, and F+ on the transient enhanced diffusion of B in silicon after annealing at 900 °C for 30 min have been investigated. Processing conditions such as implant dose (3.5×1013 cm−2) and energy (30–60 keV) were chosen to simulate the lightly doped drain implant in a 0.35 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. An epitaxially grown B-doping superlattice is used to extract directly depth profiles of average Si self-interstitial concentration after processing. For Si+ the transient enhanced diffusion of B increases with the energy of the implanted ion. Ne+ implanted with the same energy as Si+ causes more transient enhanced diffusion, while Ne+ implanted with the same range as Si+ causes slightly less. Implantation of F+ enhances the B diffusivity considerably less than Si or Ne implantation. These effects were modeled using simulations of defect diffusion in the presence of traps. A trap concentration of (2.4±0.5)×1016 cm−3 gave good agreement in all situations except F+ implantation, where (6.6±0.6)×1016 cm−3 traps were necessary. It is proposed that this is caused by additional traps for Si interstitials that are related to F+. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The diffusion of δ-function-shaped B- and Sb-dopant spikes in thin Si films grown by solid-phase-epitaxy [(SPE), growth of amorphous film by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) at room temperature and subsequent regrowth in situ] during annealing in vacuum is compared to diffusion in films grown by low-temperature (LT) MBE. Diffusion temperatures from 750 to 900 °C, and two-dimensional concentrations of 0.7–1.6×1014 cm−2 have been investigated. The diffusive behavior of dopants in SPE films is found to be qualitatively different from that in films grown by LTMBE. This is related to the vacancylike defects that are intrinsic to growth by SPE but not to growth by LTMBE. Dopant profiles widen significantly during SPE regrowth, making the achievement of δ-function dopant spikes impossible. After a vacuum anneal the diffusion coefficients for both n- and p-type dopants are lower in SPE films than the corresponding values in films grown by LTMBE by up to one order of magnitude. The diffused depth profile of the dopant in LTMBE films shows the characteristic deviation from a pure Gaussian that is expected due to the concentration dependence of diffusion, i.e., a flat top and steep shoulders. In contrast, dopant depth profiles of SPE-grown material show after diffusion a central spike and relatively flat shoulders. The width of the central spike is, after an initial transient that it was not possible to resolve, independent of diffusion time and temperature. This indicates that the SPE material is defective, with the defects acting as traps during diffusion.

    Notes: Si self-interstitial diffusivities can be extracted from the diffusive behavior of certain metals (e.g., Au) in an inert annealing ambient or from the diffusion of dopant markers (typically B) under oxidizing conditions. Each type of experiment yields fairly consistent results; however, interstitial diffusivities obtained in these two ways differ greatly. The marker layer experiments rely on the assumption that the presence of the dopant does not disturb the diffusion of the interstitials, and the validity of this assumption is explored. A model of interstitial diffusivity in the presence of B is developed, two extreme cases of the B-atom–interstitial interaction strength are considered, and the predictions of the model are compared with experiments of oxidation-enhanced diffusion in B doping-superlattices. From this comparison it is concluded that trapping of interstitials by B atoms in the markers cannot be responsible for the different values of the Si interstitial diffusivity reported in the literature. Further, it is shown that the presence of the dopant does not perturb the behavior of the Si self-interstitials in the doping-superlattices, i.e., the markers are "unobtrusive'' probes of interstitial behavior. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Implanted B and P dopants in Si exhibit transient enhanced diffusion (TED) during annealing which arises from the excess interstitials generated by the implant. In order to study the mechanisms of TED, transmission electron microscopy measurements of implantation damage were combined with B diffusion experiments using doping marker structures grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). Damage from nonamorphizing Si implants at doses ranging from 5×1012 to 1×1014/cm2 evolves into a distribution of {311} interstitial agglomerates during the initial annealing stages at 670–815 °C. The excess interstitial concentration contained in these defects roughly equals the implanted ion dose, an observation that is corroborated by atomistic Monte Carlo simulations of implantation and annealing processes. The injection of interstitials from the damage region involves the dissolution of {311} defects during Ostwald ripening with an activation energy of 3.8±0.2 eV. The excess interstitials drive substitutional B into electrically inactive, metastable clusters of presumably two or three B atoms at concentrations below the solid solubility, thus explaining the generally observed immobile B peak during TED of ion-implanted B. Injected interstitials undergo retarded diffusion in the MBE-grown Si with an effective migration energy of ∼3.5 eV, which arises from trapping at substitutional C. The concept of trap-limited diffusion provides a stepping stone for understanding the enormous disparity among published values for the interstitial diffusivity in Si. The population of excess interstitials is strongly reduced by incorporating substitutional C in Si to levels of ∼1019/cm3 prior to ion implantation. This provides a promising method for suppressing TED, thus enabling shallow junction formation in future Si devices through dopant implantation. The present insights have been implemented into a process simulator, allowing for a significant improvement of the predictive modeling of TED. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The dopant-defect interaction in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material is studied for Si film thicknesses ranging from 60 to 274 nm, with regards to (1) boron pileup and (2) defect-induced boron clustering. Results are obtained on boron-implanted samples and on molecular beam epitaxy-grown deposited-boron samples. The experimental results verify simulations predicting (a) boron pileup at both upper and lower interfaces of the Si film, and (b) no reduction of the boron clustering in SOI compared with bulk silicon. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
