Au-Si-Be liquid metal ion source for maskless ion implantation

  • 1. Optoelectronics Joint Research Laboratory (OJRL), Kawasaki, Kanagawa (Japan)

Description

A new alloyed-liquid-metal ion source for ion implantation into III-V compound semiconductors has been developed. A ternary alloy consisting of Au, Si and Be is used as the liquid metal for this ion source which is capable of emitting p-type dopant(Be), n-type dopant(Si), and Au ions from a single emitter tip. Threshold voltage for emitting ion current is about 6kV and Be++, Si++ and Au+ ions are dominant. Energy spreads of Be and Si ion beams are less than 10 eV, while that of Au was greater than 15 eV.
