In shallow junction formation with junction depth below 0.1μm, enhanced diffusion control is essential. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the B enhanced diffusion by point defects, introduced by high dose implantation with amorphization. Ge ions were implanted to induce amorphization within the S/D region of pMOS. These results were compared with that of the B enhanced diffusion by point defects, induced by Si+ implant with non-amorphization. These results suggest that the B enhanced diffusion in lateral profiles is much smaller, compared with that in vertical profiles, when point defects were introduced by amorphization.
