Description

High-energy (0.2--0.8 MeV, roughly-equal1017 cm-2) electron irradiation-stimulated solid phase regrowth of phosphorus-implanted silicon layers has been observed in the temperature range 350--600 0C. The influence of electron irradiation on the annealing of an isolated damage layer and of a continuous amorphous layer is compared. An ionization effect is found to enhance annealing of trapping centers in the isolated damage region. In addition, a small enhancement of solid phase epitaxial regrowth of the continuous amorphous layer was found, attributed to an elastic displacement effect
