Influence of F and Cl on the recrystallization of ion-implanted amorphous Si

Abstract

The effect of fluorine and chlorine implantation on the solid-phase epitaxial regrowth of amorphized <100> Si was studied in intrinsic and heavily boron doped material. Annealings were performed at 500 and 600°C. Both F and Cl retard the regrowth rate at 500°C. The growth rates are much faster in B-doped than in undoped Si. Complete regrowth in B-doped Si is obtained for all investigated doses of fluorine up to 5×10^15 F/cm^2 at 600°C for 30 min. The highest dose of chlorine (5×10^15 Cl/cm^2) stops the regrowth at this temperature.
