Abstract

The effects of ramp-up rate during rapid thermal processing of ultra-shallow boron implants have been investigated. Ramp-up rates were varied between 25 °C and 200 °C for two types of anneals: soak anneals and spike anneals. It was found that the ramp-up rate had very little influence on junction depth or electrical activation for both types of anneals. Spike anneals did produce shallower profiles than soak anneal for a comparable electrical activation and may be an option for future processes.
