Inhomogeneous Distributuon of Dislocations in Phosphorus-Diffused Silicon

概要

論文の詳細を見る
CZ-silicon wafers subjected to phosphorus diffusion to a relatively deep diffusion depth (X_i=8 μm, C_s=10^<20> cm^<-3>) using a POCl_3 source are examined both by X-ray topography and by transmission electron microscopy. The diffusion corresponds to that for the formation of the emitter of the usual silicon power transistors. Diffusion-induced dislocations are inhomogeneously distributed, forming dislocation clusters about 50 μm wide at a depth of 4-6 μm. In the cluster, the maximum dislocation density is as high as 10^9 cm^<-2> at a depth of 4 μm and some dislocations reach the diffusion depth. Between the clusters, there are dislocation networks of relatively low density. The deep penetration of dislocations is attributed to the formation of the clusters.
