Abstract

The annealing behaviour of B implants in the millisecond time regime using a combination of swept line beam and background heating is compared with isothermal annealing with heating cycles of a few seconds. Carrier concentration profiles derived from spreading resistance measurements show that under annealing conditions which restrict diffusion, millisecond processing gives higher activation of B implants than isothermal heating. Transmission electron microscopy shows that millisecond annealing also results in a lower defect density than that following an equivalent isothermal anneal.
