Advantages of Ion Imlantation Precise control of dose and deth rofile Low-temerature rocess (can use hotoresist as mask) Wide selection of masking materials e.g. hotoresist, oxide, oly-si, metal Less sensitive to surface cleaning rocedures Excellent lateral uniformity (< 1% variation across 1 wafer) Alication examle: self-aligned MOSFET source/drain regions As + As + As + Poly Si Gate n + -Si n + SiO 5 Ion Imlantation Energy Loss Mechanisms Nuclear stoing Si + Si + Crystalline Si substrate damaged by collision Electronic stoing e e + Si + Electronic excitation creates heat 6 3
