ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | We have investigated the effect of laser annealing on the recrystallization of the preamorphized layer during the formation of ultrashallow p+/n junctions. The results from channeling Rutherford backscattering spectrometry clearly indicate that the preamorphized layer has been completely annealed with a single-pulse laser irradiation at 0.5 J/cm2. These data are further verified by high-resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. It is proposed that the preamorphized layer has recrystallized to a single-crystalline structure via liquid-phase epitaxy. No observable extended defects are present in the recrystallized region after laser annealing. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. | Source Title: | Applied Physics Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/80681 | ISSN: | 00036951 |
