Abstract

The effects of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on the electrical properties and the strain relaxation of the heavily boron doped silicon layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been studied by Hall effect measurements and double crystal x-ray diffraction. After the RTA treatment at temperatures above 1000°C, the increases of both carrier concentration and Hall mobility as well as the improvement of crystalline quality of epitaxial layers are acheived. It is verified that the lattice mismatch between the epitaxial layer and the Si substrate is proportional to the concentration of the substitutional boron rather than the total boron concentration. The lattice contraction coefficient ² is determined to be 5.3 (in units 10-24cm3) in the carrier concentration range of 0.75∼ 3×1020cnr-3.
