Abstract

Silicon samples were single implanted with B+ (5 x 1014 cm−2, 50 keV) or co-implanted with C+ (5 x 1015 cm−2, 55 keV). Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) with heating rates (HR) of 1°C/s and 100°C/s with dwell time duration from 2 s to 15 min was used for B activation and the results compared with those provided by conventional furnace annealing (FA) for 30 min. In single implanted samples it was found that below 600°C or above 800°C the activation always increases with the annealing time. However, in the temperature range of 600-800°C and annealing times longer than 60 s a fraction of the initially activated B concentration deactivates. For temperatures in the range of 700-800°C the deactivation is followed again by another activation period. There is no noticeable difference between the activation yields after RTA with high HR for 15 min or FA for 30 min. In the C co-implanted samples the activation of boron saturates after few minutes. In addition the deactivation process is significantly reduced. A model assuming interaction of the B atoms with point defects and the C atoms with Si self- interstitial atoms is proposed to explain the results.
