Description: 
In order to meet the technological requirements for the next generations of p–n junctions, highly promising methods consist of B and C ultra-low energy co-implantation in Ge pre-amorphized Si. We investigated the B diffusion and the activation phenomena occurring during post-annealing of ultra-shallow junctions (USJ) obtained by spike annealing Si samples pre-amorphized by 20 keV Ge and co-implanted with C at 4 keV and B at 500 eV. Isochronal (60 s) post-annealing processes were performed in inert atmosphere (N2) by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the 500–1050 °C temperature range. We show that, contrary to what reported in the literature about C-free USJ, no B diffusion occurs up to 900 °C, and further B clustering is completely suppressed over the whole investigated temperature range. Moreover we observed an increase of the sheet resistance by increasing the temperature up to 900 °C followed …
