Abstract

Incorporation of Group III, IV, V dopants in silicon occurs as a result of solute trapping during laser annealing. Distribution coefficients and substitutional solubilities are far greater than equilibrium values, and can be functions of growth velocity and crystal orientation. Mechanisms limiting dopant incorporation at high concentrations are identified and discussed.
