Ultra shallow P+/N junctions using plasma immersion ion implantation and laser annealing for sub 0.1 μm CMOS devices

In this paper, we show the implementation of the BF3 PIII associated with the LTP. Ions from BF3+ plasma have been implanted in 200 mm n-type silicon wafers with energies from 100 eV to 1 keV and doses from 3E14 to 5E15 at/cm2 using PULSION® (IBS PIII prototype). Then, wafers have been annealed using SOPRA VEL 15 XeCl excimer lasers (l = 308 nm, 200 ns, 15 J/pulse) with energy density from 1 to 2.5 J/cm2 and 1, 3 or 10 shots. The samples have been characterized at CEA LETI by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) combined with four points probe sheet resistance measurements.
