Computer Simulation of Decaborane Implantation into Silicon, Annealing and Re-crystallization of Silicon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Activation-Relaxation Technique (ART) models of decaborane ion implantation into Si and following rapid thermal annealing (RTA) processes have been developed. The B and Si atomic positions for implantation of accelerated decaborane ions, with total energy 3.5- 15 KeV, into Si substrate were obtained by MD simulation. The main difference between monomer and decaborane ion implantation with the same doses is the formation of a large amorphized area in a subsurface region for the decaborane case. The number of displaced Si atoms shows non-linear energy dependence at low impact energies. At higher energies ofthe investigated range of the decaborane energy range, however, a linear dependence is observed in accordancewith the prediction of the Kinchin-Pease formula. A new method that incorporates Activation-Relaxation Technique (ART) with MD has been developed and used to study re-crystallization of Si amorphized in the implantation process.
