Problem 1
From simulation result of problem 3 of homework 3, we can get the average oxidation rate for the first
half hour, dxO/dt=13.6nm/0.5hr=0.027um/h; Also for second hour the oxidation rate is dxO/dt=(31.6nm-
13.6nm)/(2hr-0.5hr)=0.012um/h.
From the Fig. 11 in the supplement notes for oxidation, we have for

The above diffusion enhancement is for phosphorus, so we have

Problem 2
According to the Range Statistics plot, we can get Rp and ΔRp for SiO2 and photoresist for B
implantation with 5keV.
For SiO2, Rp=18 nm, and ΔRp=11nm
For photoresist, Rp=40nm, and ΔRp=11nm
The relation between penetrated dose and film thickness is
𝑄 𝑥𝑚 − 𝑅𝑃
𝑄𝑃 = 𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑐( )
2 √2Δ𝑅𝑃
In this problem, Q=1014cm-2, and QP=2*1012cm-2.
𝑥𝑚 − 𝑅𝑃 𝑥𝑚 − 𝑅𝑃
𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑐 ( ) = 0.04 => ( ) = 1.45
√2Δ𝑅𝑃 √2Δ𝑅𝑃
For SiO2, the above equation can be solved to get xm=40.5nm
For photoresist, the above equation can be solved to get xm=62.5nm
The Sentaurus input is as follows:

The simulated thickness to obtain required penetrated dose is 42.5 nm for oxide and 97.4 nm for
photoresist.
Problem 3
If the beam is aligned with the channels, then nuclear stopping will be minimized and electronic
stopping will dominate. The range will be
1 E dE 1 E dE
N 0 Se E N 0 k E
R

The value of k is given by k 0.2 10 eV cm while N 5 10 cm is the atom density in
15 12 2 22
𝑅 ≈ 20 √𝐸 𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑠 ≈ 282 𝑛𝑚
This is about four times the range from the range tables (Rp=74 nm and delta Rp=31nm),
because there is a nuclear stopping component which contributes along with the electronic
stopping. However, the calculation does indicate the range of a well-channeled ion.
For a 1014cm-2 dose implantation, the implantation profile with 50% ions channeled is shown
