Suppressing Oxidation-Enhanced Diffusion of Boron in Silicon With Oxygen-Inserted Layers

Blog Article

Oxygen-Inserted (OI) layers are shown to Walking Trousers shield a buried boron profile from oxidation enhanced diffusion.A TCAD model for the OI layer, including point defect and dopant trapping, as implemented in Sentaurus Process is shown Changing baskets to match experimental results, demonstrating the retention of steeper boron profiles after oxidation.Incorporation of the oxygen insertion layers into a CMOS process increases on-current and reduces threshold variability and mismatch.
