研究目的
Investigating the effects of Si, Sn and cluster-C implantation on the mobility of Ge-epi P-well and N-well regions after nano-sec laser annealing to improve performance economically for sub-5nm node advanced CMOS technology and older 28nm node planar CMOS technology used for IoT.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that group IV implants (Si, Sn and cluster-C) can significantly improve the mobility of Ge-epi P-well and N-well regions after nano-sec laser annealing. The highest mobility improvements were observed with Sn implant for P-well regions and with no laser anneal for N-well regions. Measuring mobility depth profiles is critical for engineering surface and bulk Ge-epi mobility.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions of the laser annealing and implantation processes used. The results may not be generalizable to other conditions or materials. Additionally, the study does not explore the long-term stability or reliability of the improved mobility.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used 200mm P(100) and N(100) Si wafers with ~100nm of undoped Ge-epilayer growth. The wafers received P-well or N-well implants followed by RTA annealing. Amorphizing Si, Sn and cluster-C implants at selected energies and E15-E16/cm2 doses were performed into the various Ge-epi P-well and N-well regions. The Ge-epi wafers received nano-sec laser annealing from sub-melt conditions for SPE to melt conditions for LPE at various power densities.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were 200mm P(100) and N(100) Si wafers with ~100nm of undoped Ge-epilayer growth.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The equipment used includes a laser annealing system, 4-point probe for Rs measurement, ALProTM50 electrical depth profiler for DHEM technique, XRD for crystal quality and strain analysis, and SIMS for impurity depth analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The wafers were implanted with P-well or N-well dopants, followed by RTA annealing. Group IV strain implantation was then performed, followed by nano-sec laser annealing. Rs was measured by 4-point probe, and mobility was calculated. DHEM technique was used for mobility depth profile measurement. XRD and SIMS were used for crystal quality and impurity depth analysis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data was analyzed to determine the effects of group IV implants and laser annealing on Ge-epi mobility and crystal quality.
