Abstract:
We report experiments on the diffusion of n-type dopants in isotopically controlled Ge multilayer structures doped with carbon. The diffusion profiles reveal a strong aggregation of the dopants within the carbon-doped layers and a retarded penetration depth compared to dopant diffusion in high purity natural Ge. Dopant aggregation and diffusion retardation is strongest for Sb and similar for P and As. Successful modeling of the simultaneous self- and dopant diffusion is performed on the basis of the vacancy mechanism and additional reactions that take into account the formation of carbon-vacan

Abstract:
Ion implantation of different dopants (donors and acceptors) into crystalline silicon with subsequent thermal annealing is used for the formation of ultra-shallow p-n junctions in VLSI technology. The experimentally observed phenomenon of transient enhanced diffusion (TED) during annealing hinders further downscaling of advanced VLSI circuits. However, modern mathematical models of dopant diffusion, which are based on the so-called “five-stream” approach, and software packages such as SUPREM4 encounter difficulties in describing TED. In this work, an extended five-stream model for diffusion in

Abstract:
Nematic liquid crystals (LCs) are known to undergo a phase transition to chiral nematic LCs possessing helices upon doping with enantiomeric molecules known as chiral dopants. The relationship between the helical pitch (p), the molar fraction (x), and the power of the chiral dopant to induce a helix in a nematic solvent (βM) is expressed as p=1/(x·βM). The helical pitch is easily controlled by the concentration of the chiral dopant when the dopant molecule is miscible with the host nematic LC. However, it has not yet been clarified what the miscibility of the chiral dopant molecules with the n

High concentrations of self-interstitials are trapped by dopant atoms during ion implantation into Si.

Dopant diffusion coefficients are enhanced by up to five orders of magnitude over tracer values and are characterized by an activation energy of approximately one half of the tracer values.

Upconversion (UC) luminescence in doped lanthanide nanocrystals is associated with the energy migration (EM) process within clusters of dopant ions. The process of the synthesis of core–shell nanocrystals occurs at elevated temperatures, promoting the diffusion of the dopants into the shell accompanied by the decay of dopant clusters. The details of this unwanted effect are poorly understood. In this paper, we theoretically study a model of the diffusion of dopant ions in a nanocrystal using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.

Semiconductor-grade silicon is one of the most perfect crystalline materials that can be fabricated. It contains less than 1 ppb of unintended impurities and negligible twins or dislocations.

These defects migrate through the silicon lattice, occasionally binding with a dopant atom and displacing it by one or more lattice positions.

AbstractP‐substrate AlGaInAs/InP lasers are enabled using an internal carbon‐doped layer to block Zn‐diffusion. These inverted lasers are developed for the aim of further monolithic vertical integration with passive or active material, which would allow full system on‐chip integration. The lasers emit at 1.5 μm making them ideal for telecommunication applications. Different p‐substrate laser designs were grown to quantify the effect the carbon doped layer had on blocking Zn p‐dopants diffusion, which permits the long growths necessary for vertical integration.

Abstract:
Electronic grade diamond is usually grown by Microwave Plasma assisted CVD from a hydrogen rich CH4/H2 mixture, hence hydrogen is likely to be incorporated during growth. It may thus affect the properties of the material. In this work, we present the state of the art on the understanding of the diffusion properties of hydrogen and of the hydrogen-dopant interactions in diamond. First, we show the existence of strong interactions between H and boron dopants in diamond. The formation of H-acceptor pairs results in the passivation of the acceptors. Further, we show that an excess of hydrogen in s

Abstract:
Point defects in semiconductors play a decisive role for the functionality of semiconductors. A detailed, quantitative understanding of diffusion and defect reactions of dopants is required for advanced modelling of modern nanometer size electronic devices. With isotope heterostructures which consist of epitaxial layers of isotopically pure and deliberately mixed stable isotopes, we have studied the simultaneous self- and dopant diffusion in several major semiconductors such as silicon and germanium. Detailed analysis of the simultaneous diffusion of self- and dopant atoms in Si and Ge yields

Abstract:
Cu is currently being used as the new generation of advanced interconnects. Beneficial additives or dopants to Cu have been sought to improve the electromigration performance of the Cu interconnects primarily through experimental approaches [1]. As a vital alternative, we have established a virtual simulation procedure to screen the potential dopants to Cu by modeling. There are many factors such as film density, stress, stress- voiding, grain boundary defect / diffusion, interface adhesion / defect / diffusion, grain structures (texture, grain size and size distribution) and so on that can af

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding the coupling between native point defects and dopants at high concentrations in silicon will be key to ultra shallow junction formation in silicon technology. Other effects, such as transient enhanced diffusion (TED) will become less important. In this paper, we first describe how thermodynamic properties of the two native point defects in silicon, namely vacancies and self-interstitials, have been obtained by studying self-diffusion in isotopically enriched structures. We then discuss what this tells us about dopant diffusion. In particular, we show that the diffusion of

ABSTRACTAfter the review of dopant redistribution phenomena observed during formation of near noble metal suicides, we describe the results of our recent experiments to get a better understanding of a mechanism of the dopant redistribution phenomenon in Si substrates. The key factors to understand the dopant redistribution are dopant segregation at the suicide/ Si interface due to lower solubility limit of dopants in suicides, enhanced diffusion of dopants into the Si substrate at much lower temperatures than the ordinary thermal diffusion, and electrical activation of the redistributed dopant

ABSTRACTThe control of p-type dopants is very important in producing high performance minority carrier devices such as heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) and lasers. In this study, an electrical characterization technique is described which is very sensitive to the p-type dopant profile in a heterojunction. Both the placement of the dopant, i.e. the as-grown profile, and thermal diffusion effects have been investigated. The factors which control the initial placement and subsequent diffusion of the dopant species have been determined and used to produce device-quality GaAs/Al0.30Ga0.70As

ABSTRACTWe have been developing models for our process simulators, SUPREM 3.5 and SUPREM-IV, for processes used in the fabrication of GaAs devices. Our initial experiments led to relatively simple models for diffusion of common dopants in GaAs, usually dependent only on temperature and the local dopant or carrier concentration. These models were incorporated into our first GaAs simulator, SUPREM 3.5. While these simple models were adequate for some process conditions, there are many cases where anomalous diffusion occurs and these models break down. The generally accepted diffusion mechanisms

Abstract:
The lattice Monte Carlo method with parameters from recent first-principle calculations1,2 are used to investigate dopant diffusion in silicon. In the simulations, vacancy hopping on a silicon lattice is biased by changes in system energy, including interactions up to the sixth-nearest neighbor. We find that vacancy-mediated diffusivity increases dramatically above 1020 cm−3, in agreement with experimental observations3 and previous calculations.4 However, for very long simulation times, arsenic diffusivity is reduced due to formation of AsxV complexes, with clustering more pronounced at high

Abstract:
AbstractSi/SiO2 interfaces, important parts of Si‐based devices, significantly influence the performance of Si‐based devices. However, owing to the impact of the external environment, related defects are generated, and the dopant can diffuse and redistribute, causing a series of parasitic effects that reduce the lifespan of the devices. In this paper, recent investigations on the mechanisms of interface defect initiation and dopant diffusion are systematically reviewed. At the Si/SiO2 interface, Pb‐type center defects are identified, including Pb, Pb0, and Pb1 center defects. Near the interfac

AbstractSolid electrolytes hold substantial promise as vital components of all-solid-state batteries. Enhancing their performance necessitates simultaneous improvements in their stability and lithium conductivity. These properties can be calculated using first-principles simulations, provided that the crystal structure of the material and the diffusion pathway through the material are known. However, solid electrolytes typically incorporate dopants to enhance their properties, necessitating the optimization of the dopant configuration for the simulations.
