Research Abstract |
In the structure of silicon directly covered with silicon nitride (Si_3N_4) films, stresses of Si_3N_4 films and substrates during annealing, and its effect on boron (B) diffusion and extended defects are studied. During annealing, tensile stress is generated in the Si_3N_4 film, resulting in compressive stress at the surface of the substrates. From the results of Si_3N_4 film thickness and annealing temperature dependence on both B diffusivity and stress in the substrates, B diffusion is found to be retarded and the substrates are found to have high elastic compressive strain during annealing under the films. These results indicate that excess vacancies are generated by elastic compressive strain, causing the retardation of interstitial-mediated diffusion of B.The effect of Si_3N_4 films on diffusion of phosphorus (P) and antimony (Sb) in Si has also been studied. P diffusion is retarded, while Sb diffusion is enhanced in Si under nitride films. It is determined that fraction of interstitialcy component in P and Sb diffusion in Si is approximately 0.96 and 0, respectively.
