Abstract

Extended defects resulting from ion implantation are believed to act in some cases as a driving force behind transient enhanced diffusion (TED). We use secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to study the diffusion enhancements of an underlying boron doped spike after creating implant damage in the near surface region. Diffusion enhancements are compared for silicon implants and phosphorus implants to distinguish between factors related to chemical species interactions versus those related to ion beam damage. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to investigate the existence and dissolution of extended defects. {311} extended defects are clearly visible in self-implanted samples but absent in phosphorus doped samples. The extended defects resulting from phosphorus implantation are small (20Å to 60Å diameter) “dot” defects barely resolvable by conventional TEM. methods. Despite the marked differences in defect morphology, diffusion enhancements in the boron marker layer are observable for both species. Results comparing the TED of a buried marker layer after P+ and Si+ show a larger overall effective diffusion length results after high dose (1x1014 cm−2) phosphorus implants. Visible defects in phosphorus implanted silicon are not the only source of TED, suggesting the existence of sub-microscopic phosphorus interstitial clusters (PIC). This provides important insight into the affect of phosphorus on TED.
