Technology of infrared rapid thermal annealing and its application in VLSI

摘要

The technology and equipment of the infrared rapid thermal annealing for VLSI is reported. The equipment used for rapid thermal annealing has been made with an radio frequency (RF)-induced graphite heater in a quartz housing as an infrared heating source. By using this technology and equipment the fabrication of shallow junction, the formation of silicide, the effect of BPSG reflow and annihilating the micro defects and thermal donor in CZ Si single crystal are discussed.
