Abstract

We have investigated the rapid thermal diffusion of phosphorus into p-type silicon from a spin-on coated film as a function of the process temperature and time duration. The electron diffusion length LD measurements performed by the Surface PhotoVoltage (SPV) method present evidence for a get-tering phenomena since the LD values of the diffused samples are significantly improved. This result is important for the future of RTP in the area of silicon devices where carrier transport is controlled by the bulk lifetime.
