Description/Abstract

The transport of ion implanted F in amorphous Si is studied using secondary ion mass spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Significant redistribution of F is observed at temperatures in the range 600°C to 700°C. The measured F depth-profiles are modelled using a simple Gaussian solution to the diffusion equation, and the diffusion coefficient is deduced at each temperature. An activation energy of 2.2eV±0.4eV for F transport is extracted from an Arrhenius plot of the diffusion coefficients. It is shown that the F transport is influenced by implantation induced defects.
