The effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on the formation of shallo
w p(+)/n junctions by the implantation of boron (B-11(+)) and boron di
fluoride (BF2+ ions into SiO2/Cz-(100) Si systems have been studied. T
he junction formation by various implant conditions have been investig
ated to correlate with initial dopant drive-in efficiency, defects in
junctions, and junction depth under different anneal experimental cond
itions. Boron and fluorine concentrations versus depth profiles before
and after annealing have been measured using secondary ion mass spect
rometry (SIMS). Results indicate that boron diffusion in the BF2+ case
is widely reduced during rapid thermal treatments. Discussions of thi
s are based on the effect of both knocked-on oxygen and fluorine on th
e boron diffusion kinetics.
