N-type doping of Ge by As implantation and excimer laser annealing

Abstract

The diffusion and activation of arsenic implanted into germanium at 40 keV with maximum concentrations below and above the solid solubility (8 x 10(19) cm(-3)) have been studied, both experimentally and theoretically, after excimer laser annealing (lambda = 308 nm) in the melting regime with different laser energy densities and single or multiple pulses. Arsenic is observed to diffuse similarly for different fluences with no out-diffusion and no formation of pile-up at the maximum melt depth. The diffusion profiles have been satisfactorily simulated by assuming two diffusivity states of As in the molten Ge and a non-equilibrium segregation at the maximum melt depth. The electrical activation is partial and decreases with increasing the chemical concentration with a saturation of the active concentration at 1 x 10(20) cm(-3), which represents a new record for the As-doped Ge system.
