    摘要: A method for producing hyperabrupt P.+-. or N.+-. regions in a near-surface layer of a substantially defect free crystal, using solid phase epitaxy and transient annealing. The process for producing a hyperabrupt retrograde distribution of the dopant species begins with amorphizing the near-surface layer of a base crystal, and then implanting a steep retrograde distribution of the desired species into the amorphized layer, so that the retrograde distribution lies entirely within the amorphized layer, thereby avoiding channelling effects during implantation. The substantially defect-free structure of the base crystal is restored by annealing the implanted base crystal at a temperature sufficiently high to induce solid phase epitaxial regrowth on the underlying nonamorphized crystal, but at a temperature sufficiently low to avoid significant diffusion of the implanted species. The implanted species is subsequently activated by a rapid thermal annealing process, at a temperature sufficiently high to activate the implanted species, but for a very short time so that long-range diffusion does not occur. In a preferred embodiment, the implanted species is boron, BF.sub.2.sup.+, phosphorus, or arsenic in the top 0.20 micrometers of a substantially defect-free silicon base crystal, which may be in a bulk form or epitaxially deposited on an insulator substrate such as sapphire.

    摘要: The production of improved photoresponsive amorphous alloys and devices, such as photovoltaic, photoreceptive devices and the like; having improved wavelength threshold characteristics is made possible by adding one or more band gap increasing elements to the alloys and devices. The increasing element or elements are added at least to a portion of the active photoresponsive regions of amorphous silicon devices. One increasing element is carbon which increases the band gap from that of the materials without the increasing element incorporated therein. Other increasing elements can be used such as nitrogen. The silicon and increasing elements are concurrently combined and deposited as amorphous alloys by vapor deposition, sputtering or glow discharge decomposition. A density of states reducing element allows the band gap increasing element(s) to be added to the alloy to adjust the band gap without reducing the electronic qualities of the alloy. The compensating or altering element(s) can be added during deposition of the alloy or following deposition. The addition of the increasing element(s) to the alloys increases the band gap to a widened utilization width for a particular device to increase the photoabsorption efficiency and to thus enhance the device photoresponse. The band gap increasing element(s) can be added in varying amounts, in discrete layers or in substantially constant amounts in the alloys and devices.

    摘要: Implantation of oxygen or nitrogen in polysilicon layers to a dose above about 10.sup.15 ions/cm.sup.2 retards rapid grain boundary migration of conventional dopants such as B, P, As, Sb, and the like during dopant activation. Pre-annealing of the poly films to increase the grain size also decreases rapid grain boundary migration. The efffects can be combined by first pre-annealing and then implanting oxygen or nitrogen before introducing the dopant. It is desirable to anneal the oxygen implant before introducing the dopant to allow for oxygen diffusion to the grain surfaces where is precipitates and blocks the grain boundaries. Vertical and lateral migration of the dopants can be inhibited by placing the implanted oxygen or nitrogen between the dopant and the location desired to be kept comparatively free of dopants. When very high dopant activation temperatures are used the blocking effect of the oxygen on the grain boundaries is overwhelmed by dopant diffusion through the grains.
