  2. Introduction • Ion Implantation Process • Advantages Compared to Diffusion • Disadvantages Compared to Diffusion • Implantation Doping Profiles Compared to Diffusion • Implantation Doping Profiles Parameters • Multiple Implant Process • Ion Implantation Technology Ion Implantation

  3. Introduction(Chip Fabrication Cycle)

  4. Introduction(Processes) • Oxidation • Diffusion • Ion Implantation • Deposition • Etching • Lithography • Deposition • Removal • Patterning • Modification of electrical properties

  5. Ion Implantation Process • Ion Implantation: is a method of introducing impurities in a controlled manner into wafer. • Dopant ions are accelerated by a high electric field and directed at the substrate. • They enter the crystal at high kinetic energy, collide with host atoms, gradually lost energy and finally come to rest at some depth.

  6. Ion Implantation Process • Room Temp process. • High energy ion bombardment (10 - 500 KeV) • The penetration depth and dopant profile are be controlled by the accelerating electric field.

  7. Advantages compared to Diffusion • Better control on profile Amount of dose and profile (position and area) are accurately obtainable. • Broad range of doping levels 1011– 1018cm-3 By low doping we can make fine tune the values of some electrical parameters. • Arbitrary doping profile Placing the peak anywhere under the wafer surface.

  8. Advantages compared to Diffusion • Low contamination • Shallow depths with uniform profiles • Low temperature processing The growth of masking oxide layer is no longer needed. Also low temperature processing allows us to maintain the shape of any previously introduced profiles. • Less lateral dopant diffusion Dopant ions have no momentum in the horizontal direction.

  9. Disadvantages compared to Diffusion • Only for shallow junctions • Incident ions damage the semiconductor lattice • Silicon damage (anneal at 500 - 1000oC) • Very expensive and complex equipment • Profiles can have tails (channeling) • 1 wafer at a time vs. up to 200 for diffusion • Long processing time

  10. Implantation Doping Profiles Compared to Diffusion Projected range (mean penetration depth) Higher implantation energy Ξ deeper penetration Rp and wider distribution ∆ Rp Standard deviation

  14. Implantation Doping Profiles Parameters

  15. Example • A boron dose of 1x1013 cm-3 is implanted into 5x1015 cm-3 n-type Si at 100 kev. Find the junction depth. • Solution • From charts for B into Si at 100 kev, one gets Rp=0.3µ • and ∆Rp=0.07µ • Npeak=0.4x 1013/0.07x10-4 = 5.7x1017cm-3

  16. Multiple Implant Process • Fairly flat, deep dopant profiles can be made by multiple implants of different energies.
