Modeling of ultrahighly doped shallow junctions for aggressively scaled CMOS

Abstract

This paper presents an integrated modeling approach to address diffusion and activation challenges in sub-90 nm CMOS technology. Co-implants of F and Ge are shown to reduce diffusion rates and a new model for the interactive effects is presented. Complex codiffusion behavior of As and P is presented and modeling concepts elucidated. Tradeoffs such as sheet resistance for a given junction depth, and how these depend on impurities, as well as soak vs. spike rapid thermal anneals (RTA), can be understood with simulation models.
