The kinetics of damage removal, metastable carrier concentration relaxation and secondary defect evolution in As+-implanted and rapidly annealed silicon was studied m detail. It was found that these processes are characterized by different activation energies. There is a critical temperature Tc for RTA. Only when the annealing temperature is higher than Tc, with suitable time duration can the RTA advantages be fully exloited.
