The Role of Surface Annihilation in Annealing Investigated by Atomic Model Simulation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Behavior of point defects in annealing is investigated a lot in order to suppress the Transient Enhanced Diffusion (TED) of boron as is urged by the development of integrated circuits. Surface annihilation possibility for point defects is very important in determining junction depth in the case of ultra-shallow doping. However the understanding on it is still ambiguous considering the inconsistent results on surface annihilation behavior. In this paper the variation of surface annihilation possibility is studied. The simulation on boron diffusion as well as silicon diffusion is performed. The evolution of Si clusters is simulated. By explaining experimental results with Kinetic Monte Carlo method based simulation, we proposed that surface annihilation possibility varies in different cases.
