The distribution of phosphorus dopants in the emitter formed by POCl3 diffusion show an important ‘kink’ resulting from the existence of electrically inactive phosphorus. Further, this ‘kink’ participates to form a zone called ‘dead layer’ and reduces considerably the minority carrier collection in surface. In order to minimize the effects of this layer, a new technique was used. It can be summarized in an addition of a pre-oxidation step before the phosphorus diffusion.In this paper, we conducted a numerical simulation of phosphorus diffusion by adding a pre-oxidation step, and by varying the chemical quality of silicon oxide SiO2 (wet or dry). The thickness measurement of SiO2 layer formed was accomplished by varying several parameters as: pressure, temperature, and diffusion time. Our results show that it is possible to reduce the kink by a dry SiO2 layer and thickness of 80 nm.
