Abstract

One of the important challenges in semiconductor industry is to sustain high concentration of dopant atoms electrically active in very small areas. In investigating the optimum post implantation treatment methods that will help to attain these conditions, the local structural information around the dopant atom is crucial. In this study, we have used secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) to obtain the concentration depth profiles and the local structural information around the Sb atom in laser thermal annealed (LTA) Sb implants in Si wafers. The Sb implant doses used in this work are 6.4x1015/cm2 and 2.0x1016/cm2. The XAFS results for the 6.4x1015/cm2 Sb dose sample do not exhibit any rhombohedral-Sb precipitation as the Fourier Transformed (FT) data can be fit successfully using only substitutional-Sb in the Si lattice sites. However, a multi-shell analysis of the Fourier Transformed (FT) data for the 2.0x1016/cm2 Sb dose sample clearly indicates there is a substantial contribution from the Sb-Sb scattering, which is a signature of precipitated form of Sb.
