Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Dopant deactivation by low-energy ton bombardment (<30 eV) has been investigated for several dopants (As, P, Sb, B). B is electrically deactivated by 5 eV argon ton bombardment while threshold energies for As, P and Sb are 18 eV, 13 eV and 10 eV, respectively. This result can be interpreted from the viewpoint of "local strain" caused by an atomic size difference and an electrical effect. Experimental results are found to be in excellent agreement with the local strain model presented in this paper. Since the dopant deactivation caused by local strain us dependent upon ion bombardment, ion bombardment energy must be precisely controlled to be lower than the threshold energy an order to achieve fully activated impurities in silicon crystals.
