Abstract

Deactivation of ion implanted and rapid thermal annealed (RTA) metastable arsenic in silicon during subsequent furnace annealing has been studied by sheet resistance measurement, Rutherford backs cat t ering/ channeling (RBS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Following RTA, thermal annealing induces deactivation of the dopant which increases the sheet resistivity monotonically with temperature for a very short time, Dislocation loops are formed near the peak of As concentration at post-anneal temperatures of 750°C or higher, where deactivation rate is fast. At lower temperatures deactivation is accompanied by displacement of As atoms, possibly forming clusters.
