A macroscopic kinetic model of enhanced diffusion of aluminum in SiC films during ion bombardment at high temperature has been considered. The set of equations describing the kinetic model takes into account generation of Si and C dangling bonds during bombardment, formation of C-Al and Si-Al bonds, migration of the mobile species (aluminum) to the surface, their reactions with Si and C dangling bonds as well as their evolution from the film. Numerical simulation of the equations has allowed the total concentration profile of Al implanted into SiC to be determined, the concentration profile of Al atoms on C and Si dangling bonds, the concentration profile of mobile and immobile Al atoms. The calculations were carried out for Al implanted with 40 kev energy and an ion current density of 20 /spl mu/A/cm/sup 2/ to a dose 2/spl times/10(16) cm/sup -2/ at 1800/spl deg/C. The calculations show that the Al content in SiC did not exceed 40%. We obtained a good agreement with experimental profile of Al.","PeriodicalId":262767,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Hong Kong Proceedings Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133609696","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}

The HALO structure, or pocket implant, is usually adopted for PMOS to reduce off-state leakage current and enhance on-state drive current. This paper studies the tilt angle effect of HALO implant on device performance. It is found that device with higher tilt angle gives reduced body effect and increased source resistance as compared to those with low tilt angle, and the effect of resistance and body effect compensates each other, resulting equivalent DC performance for different tilt angle. We suggest that based on this equivalence of DC performance, high tilt angle should be adopted for HALO devices due to their lower junction capacitance.","PeriodicalId":262767,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE Hong Kong Proceedings Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122798067","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}
