Abstract

A new carbon-interstitial clustering model has been developed. The model has been implemented into the process simulator Sentaurus Process. Model parameters have been calibrated using fundamental marker layer experiments. B diffusion retardation in the C doped layer as well as Sb diffusion enhancement in the region close to a layer with high C concentration are successfully simulated. The calibrated model has been applied to simulations of ultra-shallow junction formation by high dose P-C and B-C co-implantation. It is assumed that, in regions which are amorphized by ion implantation and recrystallized by solid phase epitaxy, C is in the substitutional state right after the recrystallization. In contrast, in non-amorphized regions, C is assumed to be in clusters at the beginning of thermal annealing. A good agreement between simulation and experimental results has been achieved. The dependence of dopant diffusion on implanted C dose and spike annealing temperature has been reproduced.
