Abstract

Rutherford backscattering, Van der Pauw and TEM measurements were used to characterise the annealing behaviour of antimony implanted LPCVD polysilicon. High electrical activity without dopant redistribution was obtained for 600°C annealing of 1 × 1015 cm−2 and 3×1015 cm−2 antimony implanted samples. Subsequent annealing at temperatures ≥900° C resulted in considerable grain-boundary-assisted redistribution of antimony within the polycrystalline layers and associated changes in sheet resistance. Our results suggest that the sheet resistance of the films is controlled by dopant segregation at grain boundaries and the fraction of antimony distributed on active sites within individual grains.
