Abstract:The effect of laser thermal annealing ͑LTA͒ on ␦-doped B has been investigated for the applications of super-steep-retrograde ͑SSR͒ 70 nm n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors using undoped selective silicon epitaxy. Shallow (р50 Å) melting by LTA was found to suppress the B loss, causing an anomalous lowering and fluctuation of threshold voltage (V t ), upon epitaxial channel growth and rapid thermal annealing ͑RTA͒. Under the laser fluence of 0.42 J/cm 2 , the B profile was also observed … Show more
