Abstract

Using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII), sub-100 nm p+/n junctions were fabricated with SiF4 preamorphization followed by BF3 doping. With this technique, the dose rate can be as high as 1016/cm2 per second. The silicon wafer was immersed in SiF4 or BF3 plasma and biased with a negative voltage. The positively charged ions were accelerated by the electric field in the plasma sheath and implanted into the wafer. The junction depth can be controlled by varying the negative voltage applied to the wafer holder and thermal annealing conditions. © 1991.
