Problem Set 3
Problem 1:
A measured boron does of 2 1015 / cm 2 is implanted into the surface of a silicon wafer at an
energy of 10 keV . What are the projected depth and straggle based upon below figure? What is
the junction depth if the implantation resulted in a Gaussian profile and the background
concentration of the wafer is 1016 cm3 ?
Problem 2:
An arsenic dose of 1 1012 cm 2 is implanted through a 50-nm layer of silicon dioxide with the
peak of the distribution at the Si SiO2 interface, A silicon nitride film on top of the silicon
dioxide is to be used as a barrier material in the regions where arsenic is not desired. How thick
should the nitride layer be if the background concentration is 1 1015 cm3
Problem 3:
A phosphorus dose 1 1015 / cm 2 is implanted into the surface of a silicon wafer at an energy of
20keV . What are the projected depth and straggle based upon provided figure in problem 1?
What is the junction depth if the implantation resulted in a Gaussian profile and the background
concentration of the wafer is 1016 cm3 ?
Problem 4:
An implanted profile is formed by two boron implantations. The first uses an energy of 100keV
and the second an energy of 200keV . The peak concentration of each distribution 5 1018 cm3 .
Draw a graph of the composite profile and find the junction depth(s) if the phosphorus
background concentration is 1016 cm3 . What are the doses of the two implant steps?
