    摘要: A method of forming a supersaturated layer on a semiconductor device, where an initial phase layer is deposited on the semiconductor device. The initial phase layer has a solid phase dopant saturation level and a liquid phase dopant saturation level, where the liquid phase dopant saturation level is greater than the solid phase dopant saturation level. A concentration of a dopant is impregnated within the initial phase layers, where the concentration of the dopant is greater than the solid phase dopant saturation level and no more than about the liquid phase dopant saturation level. The initial phase layer is annealed, without appreciably heating the semiconductor device, using an amount of energy that is high enough to liquefy the initial phase layer over a melt duration. This dissolves the dopant in the liquefied initial phase layer. The amount of energy is low enough to not appreciably gasify or ablate the initial phase layer. The liquefied initial phase layer is cooled to freeze the dissolved dopant in a supersaturated, electrically activated concentration, thereby forming the supersaturated layer. An initial phase layer of either polysilicon or amorphous silicon may be deposited over a CMOS device. After laser annealing the initial phase layer with a melt duration of no more than about 100 nanoseconds, it is transformed into a doped polysilicon gate electrode that can be patterned and further processed.

    摘要: A crystalline semiconductor gate electrode having a re-entrant geometry and a process for making same are disclosed. The novel gate electrode may be formed from a polysilicon layer on a substrate by first implanting a masked polysilicon layer with a neutral species, i.e., a species which will not introduce a dopant into the polysilicon, such as a Group IV element, e.g., silicon, or a Group VIII element, e.g., argon. The neutral species is implanted into the masked polysilicon layer at an angle to provide a tapered implanted region which undercuts one side of the length (long dimension) of the mask. The substrate may then be rotated 180.degree. and then again implanted to provide a tapered implanted region which undercuts the opposite side of the length of the mask. When gate electrodes with such re-entrant geometry are to be formed on a substrate with their long axes at right angles to one another, i.e., some lying along an X axis in the plane of the masked polysilicon layer on the substrate and others lying along a Y axis in the plane of the masked polysilicon layer on the substrate, the substrate may be rotated 90.degree., rather than 180.degree., between each implantation, and four implantations, rather than two, are performed. After the implantations, the implanted masked polysilicon layer is then subject to an etch, preferably an anisotropic etch, which will remove the unmasked implanted portions of the polysilicon layer, as well as the implanted regions beneath the mask, resulting in a gate electrode with re-entrant or tapered sidewalls, i.e., resembling an inverted trapezoid in cross-section.

    摘要: The effect of dopant-dopant interaction on diffusion in silicon for a specific set of impurities is modeled. The first step in the modeling process involved quantum chemical calculations. The connection between the atomic scale results and macroscopic behavior was made through the medium for transmission of interactions between dopants. The molecular orbitals of the lattice system comprise that medium; consequently, interactions can be transmitted, with minimal reduction in magnitude, over separations of hundreds of lattice spacings. Macroscopically, additional flux components are generated that modify the conventional expression of Fick's second law. Detailed simulation of boron and phosphorus diffusion in germanium rich regions of silicon illustrate the power of this approach to successfully model and predict the complex behavior exhibited by a particular set of interacting dopant species.
