Simulation of plasma doping process by using the localized molecular dynamics method

Plasma doping is the candidate for semiconductor doping. Accurate simulation of the doping technology is needed for the advanced integrated circuit manufacturing. In this paper, the plasma doping process simulation is performed by using the localized molecular dynamics method. Models that involve the statistics of the implanted compositions, angles and energies are developed. The effect of the model on simulation results is studied. The simulation results about the doping concentration profile are supported by experimental data. (condensed matter: electronic structure, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties)
