Abstract
Transient enhanced diffusion of phosphorus in silicon has been investigated for implants below and above the threshold for a complete amorphization. Rapid thermal processes (electron beam) and conventional furnaces have been used for the annealing. In the case of implants below amorphization, a strong enhanced diffusion, proportional to the amount of damage produced, has been observed. The extent of the phenomenon is practically independent of the damage depth position. In contrast to this, the formation of extended defects at the original amorphous-crystalline interface makes the diffusivity strongly dependent on depth in the case of post-amorphized samples. No enhanced diffusion effect is observed if the dopant is confined in the amorphous layer, while a remarkable increase in the diffusivity is detected for the dopant located in the crystalline region beyond the amorphous-crystalline interface.
Damage distribution after implantation and its evolution during annealing have been determined by double crystal x-ray diffraction and correlated to anomalous P diffusivity. A qualitative distribution of the interstitial excess in solution in the silicon lattice during annealing is proposed for the two different cases. These point defects, released by the dissolution of the interstitial clusters produced by the implanted ions, have been identified as responsible for the observed enhanced P diffusion.
