摘要
The recrystallization process for ion implanted Si was characterized by photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature. By comparing the results of PL, four-point probe measurements, and current-voltage measurements of shallow pn junctions, we found PL a sensitive indicator, as intensity increased with even small decreases in sheet resistance of less than 10 ohm/sq. PL intensity also increased as ideality factor n and leakage current (of shallow p-n junctions) decreased. These results indicate a strong correlation between PL intensity and dopant activation. PL measurement is non-contact and non-destructive and can be used as an in-line monitor for dopant activation and crystalline damage recovery.
