Abstract
Boron enhanced H diffusion in amorphous Si (a-Si) layers formed by ion implantation is observed using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Constant concentrations of B were achieved using multiple energy B implantations into thick a-Si layers. The evolution of single H implanted profiles centered on the uniformly B-implanted regions was studied for partial anneals at temperatures in the range 380 – 640 °C. Boron enhanced diffusion is observed and the enhanced diffusion coefficient shows trends with temperature typically associated with a Fermi level shifting dependence. A modified form of the generalized Fermi level shifting model is considered in light of these results. © Materials Research Society 2008
