Abstract

PH3 SDS (safe delivery system) gas was used for the first time in P11 doping experiments to fabricate n+p junctions and NMOS devices. Two gas recipes (PH3 diluted in H2 and He) were investigated. Under lower pressure, a minimum etching effect was observed. A 4x1015/cm2 phosphorus dose and a 22 Ω/□ sheet resistance were achieved in 4 seconds. Very low contamination level was involved. An anomalous tail of P profile in Si substrate was observed using SIMS measurements.
