Abstract

This paper addresses the diffusion and gettering of Cu and Au to internal cavities in Si introduced by H-implantation. Rutherford backscattering and channeling and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy are the main analysis methods used. During annealing at temperatures and times typical of low temperature device processing conditions, we observe a transient gettering regime in which implanted Au and Cu segregate to cavities leaving metal concentrations in the Si lattice well below the solubility level. Longer times and/or higher temperatures are required for equilibrium to be reached. These results may have important implications for developing optimum gettering strategies during thermal processing of device structures.
