Abstracta

simple radiant light source has been employed to rapidly anneal ion implanted silicon structures at temperatures >1000° C for times of the order of 1–200 sec. Rutherford backscattering and channeling analysis indicated good crystalline lattice recovery and the formation of metastable solid solutions of Sb in Si without observable diffusion broadening of the implanted profile. Diode arrays have been successfully annealed using the technique, with no observable deterioration of the surrounding oxide mask.
