IntroductionIntroduction
Implantation of high-current boron beams at 200eV for SDE with USJ
Goal: Preserve the advantages of conventional implanters while meeting productivity requirements: Use of established source materials and technologies Accurate dosimetry Precise angle control Robust charging control
Eliminate deep tails caused by energy contamination Quantify sources of variation

• Figure shows 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 & 2.0 keV ion implants
• Energy Contamination during implantation canbe observed in most of the implants
• 400 eV O2+ was
implemented for the lower energy implants whilst 700 eV was applied for the higher energy implants
• Lowest implant energies benefit from lower energy O2

Experimental DetailsExperimental Details
Prime n-type wafers, 200mm Most wafers preamorphized
100keV Ge to 2e15 because we also investigated higher energies because if energy contamination was present, we did not want
the tails to channel and be distorted
Some coated 50% with photoresist Energy contamination from neutralization is proportional to
pressure Outgassing from resist at high current must be evaluated
Energy measured directly by voltmeter from ion source to endstation Only uncertainty is plasma potential in ion source.

Discussion of 200eV dataDiscussion of 200eV data
First 0.5 nm: Surface is clean. Minimal oxide effects. Concentration as % of dose falls with dose
0.5-2.0 nm Concentration is slightly higher with higher dose Ion beam mixing during implant
>3 nm Effect of increased pressure is resolved Profile becomes ~0.23nm deeper
>4 nm Channeling is distinct; level is approx 1.23% Range of channeled ions is ~4nm deeper for 0.1% of dose
>10 nm No effect of pressure can be resolved Why does BF2 have a lower background?

DiscussionDiscussion
Possible Sources of profile shifts and deep tails: Channeling
We used RBS to look for channeling Pilot experiments eliminated channeling as source of
background variation Our amorphization was complete
SIMS system background and SIMS knock-on BF2 has a much lower background
Does the fluorine inhibit SIMS knock-on?
Higher energy beam components Neutralization close to exit of chicane

What contaminants get past the chicane?What contaminants get past the chicane?
Zone of possibleEnergy contamination
Ions can be neutralized within the chicane
This process must occur within the exit zone if the contaminant is to reach the wafer
The electric potentials limit the maximum energy contamination to a fraction of final energy Proportional to pressure

Conclusions:Conclusions:
Chicane technique can deliver ~70 wph at 200eV B 5e14 with Xj (unannealed) of < 7 nm Magnitude of energy contamination is ~22eV, or < 0.3 nm
Channeling can modify the as-implanted profile by ~ 3nm Metrology must resolve 3nm! PAI required
Chicane technique can deliver ~100 wph of 891eV BF2 5e14 May have tighter profile and less diffusion PAI required
Chicane technique can deliver ~33 wph for 200eV BF2 5e14 with Xj (unannealed) of < 5 nm
Does not require PAI
