Abstract:
|
In this letter, the authors study the importance of a low temperature anneal in the removal of crystalline defects resulting from pulsed laser annealing of preamorphized ultrashallow p+ln junction. Using an additional low thermal budget rapid thermal annealing at 600 °C for 60 s, suppression of junction leakage current of two orders in a single-pulse laser annealing and one order in a ten-pulse laser annealing is achieved through a reduction of the residual crystalline defects that could not be annihilated by laser annealing. p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors with good electrical characteristics can be obtained using pulsed laser annealing followed by a low thermal budget rapid thermal annealing. |
