We have proposed a coupled and de-coupled combined method to solve partial differential equations for a transient enhanced diffusion model. In the case of a boron diffusion process, the sum of concentrations of interstitial Si and of impurity-interstitial pair, the sum of concentrations of vacancy and of impurity-vacancy pair and each chemical impurity concentration are kept constant. The charge neutrality law is also applied. This procedure has realized a robust solution system which is implemented into our in-house FEM-based 2-D process simulator, and transient enhanced diffusion simulations for a sub-quarter micron nMOSFET have been demonstrated.
