Abstract

It is demonstrated that swept-line electron beam (SLEB) annealing can be successfully employed to recrystallize relatively deep (∼0.5 μm) Si-implanted amorphous silicon layers. DLTS and C-V analysis of these layers show significant reductions in concentration of residual defects and magnitude of dopant redistribution effects. For comparison, similar data for furnace annealed material is also presented.
