Local resistance profiles of ultra-shallow arsenic implanted into silicon with an energy of 3.5 keV and a dose of 1.2x10{sup 15} ions/cm{sup 2} activated by conventional spike lamp and laser annealing were measured by SSRM in a nitrogen atmosphere with a depth resolution of less than 10 nm for investigating the combination of the conventional spike lamp and laser annealing. Spike lamp annealing at 1050 deg. C followed by laser annealing at a power density of 0.42 kW/mm{sup 2} was found to give the lowest sheet resistance. The resistance profiles obtained by SSRM also indicated the lowest resistance for the sample after spike lamp annealing at 1050 deg. C followed by laser annealing with a power density of 0.42 kW/mm{sup 2}. Laser annealing alone with a power density of 0.42 kW/mm{sup 2} resulted in the higher sheet resistance, though the shallower resistance profile could be obtained. Spike lamp annealing followed by laser annealing procedures are effective in activating shallow arsenic profiles.
