Y. Saito et al., RECRYSTALLIZATION OF ARSENIC IMPLANTED LAYER IN SILICON BY VACUUM-ULTRAVIOLET-LIGHT IRRADIATION, JPN J A P 1, 35(12A), 1996, pp. 6239-6240
Re-crystallization of implanted layers and electrical activation of im
planted As atoms by vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) light irradiation in sili
con substrates below 470 degrees C were investigated by means of sheet
resistance measurements and reflection high-energy electron diffracti
on (RHEED). The reduction in the process temperature by irradiation of
VUV light onto the implanted layer at 1 Wcm(-2) is estimated to be ab
out 50 degrees.
