Various examples of RTP-spike, flash and laser anneals and new low-dose implant results are discussed. Introduction The needs of advanced ultra-shallow junction (USJ) technology, which uses lowenergy ( 00 ev/dopant) implants and millisecond anneals, has encouraged the development of non-contact junction monitoring metrology. Junction photo-voltage (JPV) measurements of carrier spreading and recombination in p-n junctions provide a non-contact method for evaluation of sheet resistance (Rs) and leakage current (Io) [1,]. The range of Rs measurements span implant doses from threshold adjust ( ions/cm ) to source-drain doping ( ions/cm ), including accurate evaluations of shallowextension ( 10 nm) junctions in halo/well profiles [3]. Leakage current densities, including the effects of carrier recombination and trap-assisted tunneling, can be obtained over a dynamic range of 5 orders of magnitude [3,4]. The analysis of JPV measurements is based on rigorous solutions of a onedimensional Poisson equation governing the absorbtion of light and creation of carrier pairs and by integrating the three-dimensional continuity equations for carrier spreading over vertical spatial coordinates perpendicular to the wafer surface [1]. Excellent correlation of the contact-less RsL technique with contact four-point probe (4PP) measurements was demonstrated for deep (>50 nm) p-n junctions with low-leakage currents []. In the case of USJs formed in heavily-doped regions, e.g., halo or well, no correlation between RsL and 4PP measurements was observed due to probe penetration damage and high p-n junction leakage current [,4]. The analysis methods of RsL measurements has been independently verified and analyzed in detail by analytical modeling and numerical simulation [5]. The advantages of the RsL technique for monitoring of USJs formed with low-energy implants and millisecond anneal and by lowtemperature CVD have been demonstrated [6]. In this work, we will explore the highresolution RsL capabilities for monitoring of micro and global non-uniformities related to implant and annealing process.
2 Measurement Background The basis of the RsL measurement is to use photo excitation of carriers in the p-n junction and wafer substrate and to monitor, in a spatially resolved manner, the JPV signals inside and outside the illumination area, when absorbtion of modulated light flux, Φ (t)= Φ 0 (1-cos(πft)), creates electron hole pairs in the semiconductor material. Two electrodes, a circular transparent electrode (1) with diameter r 0 at the center of the probe and second round arc conducting electrode () subtending an angleβ and coaxial with the first electrode a small distance away, are used to measure JPV voltages V 1 and V (Fig. 1) [1].

(a) Photo-excitation and carrier drift with a modulated light source and two capacitor electrodes for monitoring the induced junction photo-voltage in a spatially resolved manner; (b) electrode configuration. The JPV voltages, V 1 and V, under low-level light excitation are: q (1 R) Φ 0RS V1 = η kr k [ 1 I ( kr ) K ( )] 0 (1) (1 R) Φ 0βRS V = qη I1( kr0 )[ r1 K1( kr1 ) r K1( kr )] () πk r 0 k = R G i πfr C (3) S p n + S p n where I 0, I 1, K 0 and K 1 are modified Bessel functions, Φ 0 the incident photon flux density modulated at frequency f, R the reflectivity, η the quantum efficiency, R S, G p-n, C p-n the p-n junction sheet resistance, capacitance and conductance [1,5].
3 By measuring the JPV signals at the two electrodes with different light modulation frequencies, calibrated by with reference to JPV measurements on a wafer with a deep p-n junction with known sheet resistance and low-leakage, the sheet resistance, R s, conductance G p-n and capacitance of the p-n junction, C p-n can be simultaneously determined using measured voltages V 1 and V and Eqs. (1) and (). The measurement sequence is to first analyze V 1 and V under high light modulation frequencies, where R s xc p-n, in Eq. 3 is the dominant term in the solution. This allows for a direct determination of the USJ sheet resistance, R s, independent of junction depth or leakage current effects. The analysis is then repeated for a lower light modulation frequency, where G p-n xr s, is a more important factor. Since R s is already determined at this point, G p-n (and J RsL ) can be determined directly. For high resolution measurements (>1,000 pixels/wafer), a focused laser beam with a diameter < 0.1 mm is used. In this case, the spatial resolution is mainly determined by the diameter of light beam. Collecting Rs data over a test wafer junction, with pixel counts from 1,000 to up to 70,000/ wafer, provides detailed evaluation of local and global dopant activation uniformity for various implant and anneal conditions. Sub-millimeter spatial resolution with these techniques has been demonstrated with scanned laser annealed test structures. High Density Rs Mapping Process effects which have been clearly identified with RsL mapping include: implant dose variations due to insufficient overlap of beam scan paths, variations in local heating during spike-rtp ( 1050 C/ 1 s) and ms-anneals ( 1350 C/ 1 ms) related to heater lamp signatures, laser scan paths (Fig. ) and pulse-to-pulse laser power variations (Fig. 3). Figure. A 973-point Rs map and 11-point Rs line scan along a 45 o diameter across a 300 mm wafer implanted with 0. kev B and annealed with a scanned CW-laser. Laser beam scanning traces resulted in 3% Rs variations over the wafer.
4 Figure point Rs (left) and Io (right) maps for a 0.5 kev B implant annealed with a step-and-pulse laser on a 00 mm wafer. Regions of high Rs and Io are indicated with the darker (blue) colors. Laser pulse-to-pulse power variations resulted in a global 5% variation in Rs around an average of 996 Ohm/square and Io values from <10-7 to x10-5 A/cm [7]. High-resolution (>1,000 pixels/wafer) are essential for local evaluation of densely patterned local annealing conditions which can be achieved by scanned laser annealing (Fig. 4). The use of a high-resolution RsL probe with a suitably designed laser scan pattern can yield process data on dopant activation for hundreds of separate anneal conditions on a single wafer. Such capabilities are vital to achieve rapid process learning for process proto-typing and analysis of in-line problems. Figure 4. High-resolution (30,000 pts/ 300 mm wafer) Rs map of a locally-patterned, scanned-laser-annealed wafer for rapid proto-typing of multiple process conditions.
5 Flash annealers, which heat the entire wafer surface to >1300 C with sub-ms pulses of light from various arc-lamp sources, rely on a highly-uniform distribution of light power over the wafer surface (just as scanned and pulsed laser annealers require tightly controlled laser beam energies and optics). With high-resolution RsL mapping, local variations in dopant activation can be evaluated with mm-scale resolution over 300 mmd areas. In the example shown in Fig. 5, a flash annealer that employed a bank of linear arc lamps resulted in a variety of dopant activation variations; local high (bright) and low (dark) sheet resistance near the wafer edges and a subtle but clearly discernable stripping pattern over the wafer which mirrors the lamp array. Figure 5. High-resolution (30,000 pts/ 300 mm wafer) Rs maps of a flash-annealed wafer (bottom map after 90 o rotation of wafer shown on the top) with a global Rs uniformity of 10.6% and an average of 3,468 Ohms/square. The stripping pattern across the wafer reflects the array of linear arc lamps used in this tool.
6 RTP spike annealers, which anneal wafers at 1050 C for peak temperature exposures of 1 s, often show Rs patterns that reflect the combined effects of multiple halogen lamps controlled in rings centered on a rotating wafer. High-resolution Rs mapping provides data sufficient to allow tuning of individual lamp-array rings. Figure 6. High-resolution (30,000 pts/ 300 mm wafer) Rs maps of wafers annealed in two different RTP-spike annealers using circular arrays of lamps and wafer rotation during annealing. Rs uniformities are 4.8% (top) and.56% (bottom). Although the focus of most high-performance logic processes is optimization of USJ with doping levels of >10 0 dopants/cm 3 and junction depths <15 nm, new areas interest are also developing for high-breakdown voltage circuits for automotive controllers and deep-well optical sensors which call for deep junctions and much lower doping levels than USJs. In this regime of deep and lightly-doped junctions, RsL analysis, with light sources chosen with deep enough penetration to excite carriers throughout the junction and depletion region, provides a unique probe for dopant activation beyond the reach of contact probes and conventional optical analysis. A submm pixel resolution Rs map for a 90 kev B + implanted low-dose (4x10 11 B/cm ) junction (Fig. 7) shows fine details of the local over-doping (dark bands) resulting from the overlap of beam paths in an x-y scanned beam over the wafer.
7 Figure 7. A high-resolution (30,000 pts/150 mmd, 0.6 mm /pixel) Rs map of a 90 kev B +, 4x10 11 B/cm implanted wafer with an x-y scanned ion beam. The average Rs is 57,671 Ohms/square with a uniformity of.4% Summary High resolution ( 30,000 pixels per wafer) Rs maps derived from RsL analysis of JPV signals, coupled with spatial analysis of junction leakage current variations, provides detailed insight into across-wafer process variations arising from implant and annealing with sub-mm resolution.
