Faculty-in-charge: Dr. Sitangshu Bhattacharya 2015 ❑ Control of doping profile (ion dose) is within ±1% of the predicted value. Controlling ambient is easy. ❑ Ion implantation is room temperature process (here you can use photo-lithography for masking or selective masking). ❑ Low concentration and a shallow junction is possible. Here you have two independent control: 1. Ion dose, which control total impurity and 2. Ion energy, which determine how deep the ion should go. ❑ This is non equilibrium process. Here you are using energy to direct the impurity by force, so the concentration can exceed solid solubility limit. Instead of surface, you can have the peak concentration inside the bulk.

However, annealing is a diffusion process. Thus doping profile is going to get modified. Fortunately for Si, 𝐷𝑡 , that determines the diffusion depth is not very high at 950 degC. But for compound semiconductors, this is a problem.

This also causes the damages and cause point defects. Ion Implantation Nuclear Stopping Faculty-in-charge: Dr. Sitangshu Bhattacharya 2015 Electron Stopping See VLSI fabrication Principles By S K Gandhi Integrated Circuit Technology Ion Implantation Electron stopping: When the energetic ion (dopant) supplies its energy to the bound electrons. This makes the bound electrons free to move inside the crystal. It does not create the defects. Ion Implantation Nuclear Stopping Faculty-in-charge: Dr. Sitangshu Bhattacharya 2015 Electron Stopping See VLSI fabrication Principles By S K Gandhi Integrated Circuit Technology Ion Implantation The rate of energy loss of the ion can be mathematically written as − dE = N ( Sn ( E ) + Se ( E ) ) dx N is the number of target atoms per unit volume.

And VLSI technology is done on single crystal. So, what I will do, I will make this target to look like an amorphous. For crystal sample, the ions can go to long distances without colliding and the mathematical process becomes difficult to analyse.
