Introduction
• Dope semiconductor
• Two way to dope– Diffusion– Ion implantation
• Other application of ion implantation

Dope Semiconductor: Diffusion
• Isotropic process
• Can’t independently control dopant profile and dopant concentration
• Replaced by ion implantation after its introduction in mid-1970s.

Dope Semiconductor: Ion Implantation
• Used for atomic and nuclear research
• Early idea introduced in 1950’s
• Introduced to semiconductor manufacturing in mid-1970s.

Dope Semiconductor: Ion Implantation
• Independently control dopant profile (ion energy) and dopant concentration (ion current times implantation time)
• Anisotropic dopant profile
• Easy to achieve high concentration dope of heavy dopant atom such as phosphorus and arsenic.

Ion Implantation Control
• Beam current and implantation time control dopant concentration
• Ion energy controls junction depth
• Dopant profile is anisotropic
![Page 9: 1 Ion Implantation M.H.Nemati Sabanci University](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032106/56649dce5503460f94ac2c62/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Stopping Mechanism
• Ions penetrate into substrate
• Collide with lattice atoms
• Gradually lose their energy and stop
• Two stop mechanisms
![Page 10: 1 Ion Implantation M.H.Nemati Sabanci University](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032106/56649dce5503460f94ac2c62/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Two Stopping Mechanism
• Nuclear stopping – Collision with nuclei of the lattice atoms– Scattered significantly – Causes crystal structure damage.
• electronic stopping – Collision with electrons of the lattice atoms– Incident ion path is almost unchanged– Energy transfer is very small – Crystal structure damage is negligible
![Page 11: 1 Ion Implantation M.H.Nemati Sabanci University](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032106/56649dce5503460f94ac2c62/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Implantation Processes: Channeling
• If the incident angle is right, ion can travel long distance without collision with lattice atoms
• It causes uncontrollable dopant profile
Very few collisions
Lots of collisions

Implantation Processes: Channeling
• Ways to avoid channeling effect– Tilt wafer, 7° is most commonly used– Screen oxide– Pre-amorphous implantation, Germanium
• Shadowing effect– Ion blocked by structures
• Rotate wafer and post-implantation diffusion
![Page 14: 1 Ion Implantation M.H.Nemati Sabanci University](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032106/56649dce5503460f94ac2c62/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Implantation Processes: Damage
• Ion collides with lattice atoms and knock them out of lattice grid
• Implant area on substrate becomes amorphous structure

15
Implantation Processes: Anneal
• Dopant atom must in single crystal structure and bond with four silicon atoms to be activated as donor (N-type) or acceptor (P-type)
• Thermal energy from high temperature helps amorphous atoms to recover single crystal structure.

• Electrons collide with source gas molecules to dissociate and ionize
• Ions are extracted out of source chamber and accelerated to the beamline
• RF and microwave power can also be used to ionize source gas
