Abstract

A high efficiency technique for incorporating As or other high volatility elements into Si and other semiconductors by laser pulse processing is described. By this method more than 80% of the As atoms painted onto a Si surface were made to relocate onto substitutional sites in the 73Si crystal. Mossbauer analysis of laser diffused As atoms in a Ge crystal indicates that although the final As sites are >97% substitutional, the majority are associated with one or more defects not seen in conventionally diffused material.
