Plasma doping has been explored for many implant applications for over two decades and is now being used in semiconductor manufacturing for two applications: DRAM polysilicon counter-doping and contact doping. Recently it has become an attractive implant technique for multiple gate and FinFET devices, since the directionality of the conventional beam-line implant processes used to form the source and drain junctions in planar devices is not well suited for use on non-planar devices. In this paper, we investigate the use of plasma doping to dope the sidewalls of fins, with particular attention to the dopant uniformity and residual damage after anneal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
