Microstructure and sheet resistance of phosphorus-implanted annealed polycrystalline silicon films

Description

LPCVD polycrystalline silicon films were phosphorus-implanted with doses of 2.5 x 1015 cm-2 and 2 x 1016 cm-2 and annealed at temperatures between 6000C and 10000C. Thin cross sections observed in the TEM showed recrystallization to proceed in the vertical direction before lateral grain growth occurs. Knowing the phosphorus depth distribution from the X-ray microanalysis of cross sections in a STEM, the variation in sheet resistance with temperature could be interpreted as the influence of the microstructure on the carrier concentration.
