Abstract:

Fe, Ni and Cu atoms diffuse very quickly in Si and are the main targets for metal gettering. W, Hf, and Mo atoms, for example, which diffuse very slowly in Si have also recently become gettering targets in addition to these metals. Therefore, proximity gettering techniques by using ion implantation are being considered. Not only implanted elements but intrinsic point defects exist and form several complexes after the heat treatment for Si crystal recovery. This research systematically investigated the binding energy of twelve important metals (Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W) with implanted dopants (B, C, P, and As) and their complexes with intrinsic point defects (vacancies (Vs) and self-interstitials (Is)) by using first principles calculation. These data should be useful in the design of proximity gettering in LSI manufacturing processes.
