Critical angle of channeling for low energy ion implantation

TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the dependence of channeling suppression on wafer tilt angles for sub-5 keV B/sup +/ and sub-15 keV BF/sub 2/ implantations using a ultra-low energy ion implanter.
Abstract
We investigated the dependence of channeling suppression on wafer tilt angles for sub-5 keV B/sup +/ and sub-15 keV BF/sub 2/ implantations using a ultra-low energy ion implanter. A noticeable reduction of channeling tail for 1 keV B/sup +/ and 4.5 keV BF/sub 2/ implants was demonstrated to require tilt angles greater than 8/spl deg/. These results are compared with recently published Monte-Carlo simulation data which indicate that ion redistribution at tail region is dominated by channeling along direction with estimated critical angle of 9/spl deg/ for 1 keV B/sup +/. For boron energy at 3.3 keV, wafer tilt of 8/spl deg/ remarkably suppressed the channeling. We also observed that 15 keV BF/sub 2/ implantation, as an equivalent energy of 3.3 keV B/sup +/, with tilt angle of 4/spl deg/ was sufficient for suppressing the channeling tail in dopant distribution due to additional suppression effect of channeling by implant-induced surface amorphization.

Boron, fluorine, and carrier profiles for B and BF2 implants into crystalline and amorphous Si

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and carrier profiles, measured by differential capacitancevoltage (C‐V) profiling, of boron and fluorine implanted as B, F, BF, or BF2 ions into random and channeling orientations of crystalline silicon, and into silicon amorphized by silicon ion implantation.

Formation of silicided, ultra-shallow junctions using low thermal budget processing

TL;DR: In this paper, the tradeoffs involved in alternative processes for the formation of ultra shallow junctions are described, where low energy implantation, preamorphization to eliminate channeling and low thermal budget processing are adequate to form junctions that are 0.1 to 0.3μm deep.
