Abstract

CW scanned Argon laser annealing is used to form photo diodes in single crystal Boron implanted germanium. The starting material is doped n–type to 4 × 1015 cm−3 and oriented 2° off the <100>. For annealing, a substrate temperature of 250°C is employed in conjunction with a beam spot diameter of 50 μm and scan speeds in the vicinity of 1 cm/sec. Pyrolytic oxides are deposited to provide a protective and antireflective coating. Devices are fabricated and display dark leakage characteristics of the order of ∼ 10−4 A/cm2 which is comparable to diodes made by more conventional techniques.
