The effect of Additional Low Temperature RTA process (ALTRTA) prior to furnace annealing (FA) on shallow junction formation has been investigated. In p{sup +}-n junction implanted by BF{sub 2} at 20 keV with a dose of 3 {times} 10{sup 15} ions/cm{sup 2}, it was found that ALTRTA at 950{degrees} C for 5 sec before FA at 850{degrees} C for 60 min decreased the junction depth, sheet resistance and junction leakage current by 10 %, 2 %, and 83.7 %, respectively compared to conventional FA process. As FA time increased, the retardation of boron diffusion by ALTRTA was more prominent. Cross-sectional TEM study showed that the density and size of dislocation in ALTRTA sample were reduced. Therefore, it is speculated that the density reduction of Si-interstitial due to point defect recombination (Interstitial + Vacancy = 0) during ALTRTA retards the boron diffusion, and reduces junction leakage current. The effective ALTRTA condition was found to depend on ion implantation energy and/or dose, and the lower ion implantation energy and/or dose required the lower RTA temperature. From the results, the ALTRTA process prior to FA for BPSG flow is very effective for the formation of ultra-shallow junction with the improvement of junction characteristics.
