Abstract

We have calculated the degree of dopant diffusion which occurs during non-equilibrium incorporation of boron from the silicon surface into the molten silicon induced by a pulsed excimer laser. When a high-power lascr causes the melt front to proceed into the substrate faster than 8 m/s, p+ -doped regions are formed near the surface of the molten silicon because boron atoms cannot diffuse sufficiently fast for the junction depth to reach the maximum melt depth.
