For low energy B (LEB) implantation into Si, the channeling tail is larger than for BF{sub 2}{sup +} implantation, so Ge{sup +} preamorphization is expected to provide a shallower junction. The authors studied the Ge{sup +} and B{sup +} implantation damages and the damage-induced B diffusion. The substrate implanted Ge{sup +} with 2 {times} 10{sup 14} cm{sup {minus}2}, that is, a complete amorphization, retains less residual defects after RTA. However the sheet resistivity ({rho}{sub s}) is higher than the sample implanted with only LEB. Solid phase epitaxy (SPE) of amorphized layer causes B out-diffusion. The diffusion length of the amorphized substrate is smaller than that of LEB. They expect that the B diffusion is enhanced by the LEB damage, which corresponds to the enhanced diffusion of light damage.
