Structure of oxygen-implanted (111) silicon before and after heat-pulse annealing

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6083817

The structure of oxygen-implanted silicon (dose -7.3 x 10/sup 16/cm/sup -2/) has been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-implanted material exhibited four structurally different layers: defect-free monocrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, monocrystalline silicon with a high defect density, and the perfect crystalline substrate. After heat-pulse annealing for 20 s at 800/sup 0/C, 900/sup 0/C, or 1000/sup 0/C, the amorphous layer recrystallized resulting in polycrystalline silicon rich in oxygen. The uniform insulator buried layer was not formed under these specific implantation and annealing conditions.
