Abstract

Results of a quantitative characterisation SIMS at high levels of boron-doping concentration (2 × 1020 cm−3) of in situ boron-doped LPCVD-polysilicon thin films before and after thermal-oxidation treatments are presented. Measurements of the precedent characterisation methods (SIMS) are performed on submicron layers (300 nm) deposited at the extreme temperatures Td = 520 °C and Td = 605 °C. The thermal-oxidation experiments are carried out under dry oxygen (O2) at three oxidation temperatures Tox = 840 °C, 945 °C and 1050 °C for several durations. After these thermal-oxidation processes, remarkable changes in the behavior of doping profile are observed. This behavior seems to be typically characteristic of the in situ heavily boron-doped films. In addition to the presence of some saturation-thermal-dependence phenomenon, we find that these results well correlate and support the presence of another phenomenon called “Differential of the Oxidation Rate (DOR)” which is evidenced as typical of the in situ doped films.
