Abstract

We studied effects of nitrogen on reduction of boron diffusion in BF2-implanted source/drain regions of a p-channel MOSFET. Evolution of extended defects induced by nitrogen implantation in silicon and its dependence on implant energy were investigated. Characterization with TEM and SIMS led to validation of models of nitrogen as interstitial traps and strain-induced gettering. Electrical measurement of the PMOS threshold voltage shows a consistent trend of the nitrogen effects on boron redistribution in the S/D regions.
