The experiment is specifically designed to determine the role of various processing steps on reverse short channel effect (RSCE). In the experiment defect-free silicon films, uniformly doped with boron, were grown epitaxially. The samples were then subjected to the processing steps associated with channel profile formation. A gate oxide was grown, then silicon was implanted to simulate the damage due to a source/drain implant. Finally, a damage anneal was done. The resultant experimental dopant profiles as measured using SIMS reveal an important effect which may cause reverse short channel effect. Boron segregation during gate oxidation significantly reduces the boron concentration near the silicon-oxide interface. Subsequent diffusions show that in the presence of damage, the transient enhanced diffusion of boron refills the dopant lost during segregation. In the absence of damage, the profile remains as it was after gate oxidation.","PeriodicalId":100835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technology Computer Aided Design TCAD","volume":"2 3 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79352986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Binary collision approximation (BCA)-based Monte Carlo (MC) ion implantation simulators are commonly used to predict the impurity and damage profiles. A deterministic propagator is needed in these simulators to simulate the propagation of ions in crystalline materials. A search-for-target algorithm is frequently called to determine the collision partners and collision parameters in a deterministic propagator, and this is usually the computational bottleneck of MC ion implantation simulators. The standard search-for-target algorithm has been redesigned for computational efficiency and for economic usage of memory. Instead of searching for collision partners in a standard 29-atom crystal neighborhood identical to all ions, narrowed-down potential target lists are pre-computed based on the ion's relative position to a reference point as well as its direction of motion. The American National Standards Institution (ANSI) C++ standard container class bitset [1] is used to store such potential target lists, and the memory usage is very efficient. Combined with a quasi-simultaneous collision algorithm, the CPU times for MeV P and B implantation simulations are found to be reduced by more than a factor of two, rendering very reasonable computation times for MeV ion implantation simulations on standard workstations.","PeriodicalId":100835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technology Computer Aided Design TCAD","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80458378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
