n-type silicon wafers were doped by boron using a spin-on doping method. A XeCl pulsed excimer laser (λ = 308 nm) was used to irradiate the sample at room temperature. Properties such as sheet resistance, carrier concentration profile, Hall mobility and structural defects were then determined. The results show that the sheet resistance decreases with an increase of laser fluence as well as with an increase in pulse number. It attains a low value of 10 2 −1 for laser fluence above 1.0 J cm −2 . An optimal doping profile with surface carrier concentration of 10 18 cm −3 and a junction depth of 0.36 µm was achieved by 25 pulses of 1.5 J cm −2 irradiation. Channelled Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy showed that no obvious lattice damage exists in the doped Si wafer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
