Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for dopant diffusion and defects in Si and SiGe: Analysis of dopants in SiGe-channel Quantum Well

Abstract

Atomistic Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) diffusion modeling is used for dopant diffusion and defect analysis in ultra shallow junction formation in Si and SiGe. An analysis of dopant diffusion and defects in SiGe-channel Quantum Well (QW) using an atomistic KMC approach are shown. Thin SiGe layer with high Ge content for SiGe-channel QW has an impact on implantation damage and Boron-Transient Enhanced Diffusion (TED) suppression, and defect evolution. KMC shows that As-pocket in SiGe-channel pFET shows enhanced diffusion toward SiGe-channel and higher As concentration in SiGe-channel. The difference of pocket diffusion is one of possible reason for the higher Vth mismatch for SiGe-channel with As pocket than for Si-channel. To avoid implant damage influence, Implant-Free SiGe channel-QW with B-doped SiGe epi for extension-S/D formation is used. KMC simulation and SSRM shows that B migration from B-doped SiGe raised-S/D to SiGe-channel can form S/D-extension overlap.
