Experimental and theoretical investigation of phosphorus in-situ doping of germanium epitaxial layers

Experimental and theoretical investigation of phosphorus in-situ doping of germanium epitaxial layers

We investigate phosphorus in-situ doping characteristics in germanium (Ge) during epitaxial growth by spreading resistance profiling analysis. In addition, we present an accurate model for the kinetics of the diffusion in the in-situ process, modeling combined growth and diffusion events. The activation energy and pre-exponential factor for phosphorus (P) diffusion are determined to be 1.91 eV and 3.75 × 10⁻⁵ cm²/s. These results show that P in-situ doping diffusivity is low enough to form shallow junctions for high performance Ge devices.

Highlights

► We investigate the phosphorus in-situ doping characteristics in germanium.

► Phosphorus in-situ doped profile exhibits a box-shaped junction formation.

► The modeling and the experimental results are in very good agreement.

► Phosphorus in-situ doping diffusivity is low enough to form shallow junction.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.
