Abstract

Simulation and physical experiments have shown that vacancy engineering implants have the potential to provide outstanding pMOS source/drain performance for several future CMOS device generations. Using vacancy-generating implants prior to boron implantation, hole concentrations approaching 10(21) cm(-3) can be achieved using low thermal budget annealing. In this new study we propose that the vacancy engineering technique is not reliant on the implementation of SOI-based CMOS but is also directly applicable to bulk silicon technologies.
