Abstract

To achieve high concentrations and electrical activation of As in Si without subsequent annealing, 500-3000 eV As + ions were implanted during MBE growth of Si at 450-840°C. The epitaxial layers were characterized by Rutherford backscattering/channeling, transmission electron microscopy, secondary ion mald spectroscopy, and electrical measurements. Samples containing 1.2×1020 As cm-3 grown at 700°C showed little damage, high As substitutionality and high electrical activation. However, similarly doped layers grown at 460°C showed lower As activation and varying amounts of structural damage. In one case, a band of damage near the Si substrate was observed which persisted even after rapid thermal annealing at 1120°C (10 s); the damage was characterized by a dechanneling step, non-substitutional As atoms and dislocation loops. A sample grown at 460°C with a high implantation energy (3 keV) was highly defected.
