Dose matching at high tilt angle by off-axis implantation
摘要
When dose matching occurs between ion implanters with sheet resistances (Rs), the implant tilt/twist angle is typically set to 7°/22°, at which ions incident with an off-axis and a dopant profile become stable in the case of a (100) Si wafer. This is attributable to dose changes and ion angle deviations (IADs) influencing Rs, owing to the channeling phenomenon close to the implant angle tilt of 0°. With decrease in the effective dose of the wafer, corresponding to the cosine of the tilt angle in certain single-wafer-type implanters that facilitates relatively high-tilt-angle implantation, the dose matching should be verified at a high tilt angle.
