Description/Abstract

Results are presented of implantation and diffusion study of boron (B) in germanium (Ge). B implantation was carried out in Ge with different energies and to different doses. High-resolution secondary ion mass spectroscopy was used to obtain concentration profiles after furnace annealing. The as-implanted profiles show a long tail possibly due to enhanced diffusion. A limited diffusion has been observed after furnace annealing. Using T-SUPREM, diffusivity value of 1.5(+/-0.3)x10-16/s at 850 degrees c has been extracted. This value is two orders of magnitude lower than previously reported vaues. The results question the change in diffusion mechanism of B diffusion in Si-Ge alloys from low Ge levels to high Ge levels.
