    Notes: Polycrystalline silicon diffusion sources have been analyzed using secondary ion mass spectrometry. Polysilicon films were grown by standard low-pressure chemical vapor deposition and doped with As, P, or B by ion implantation. Although dopant segregation at the poly-Si/single-crystal-silicon interface occurred and has been analyzed quantitatively, no diffusion barrier has been observed at this interface. Diffusion profiles in the single-crystal substrate have been measured for diffusion temperatures between 800 and 1000 °C. It is shown by comparison to numerical simulations that these profiles obey standard diffusion theory. Proper boundary conditions to be used for such calculations are deduced for the different dopant species. Furthermore, the saturation concentration of boron in silicon over the temperature range given above has been reliably determined.

    Notes: Summary A hump-like distortion was observed in SIMS depth profiles of the beryllium dopant in an InGaAs layer of a MOVPE-grown structure, when the SIMS analysis was done with oxygen primary ions. In order to identify the origin of this effect, investigations were carried out with SIMS, SEM, TEM, and AES. The effect is correlated with the sputter-induced build-up of a ripple-topography in the sputter crater bottom and its influence on the dynamic equilibrium surface concentration of implanted oxygen primary ions. It is strongly dependent on the angle of primary ion incidence and can be avoided by oblique beam incidence with Θ≥45° (with reference to the sample normal).

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Aiming at the application of integrated circuits the lateral resolution and the detection limit of the Auger Electron Spectrometry (AES) and of the Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) have been compared under certain assumptions for some commercially available instruments. Whereas AES offers optimum lateral resolution (d=0.2 μm and even better), it only achieves detection limits between 10−2 and 10−4 (atomic concentration). Therefore, e.g., the interconnections of integrated circuits and even the bottom of contact holes can in principle be analyzed by AES, but in practice additional problems (geometry, charging effects, etc.) may quite often restrict its applicability. The application of the commercial SIMS ion probe instrument is at present limited to more extended structures like contact pads (about 100×100 μm), due to its lateral resolution (d≥5 μm). On the other hand, it achieves in this range detection limits which are lower by several orders of magnitude than those obtained with AES. The ion microscope offers the same detection limits as the ion probe instrument, with a lateral resolution better by a factor of ten (d≥0.5 μm). It, therefore, allows the analysis of more narrow structures in the micrometer range. For the application to VLSI semiconductor devices there is a strong demand for SIMS instruments with even better lateral resolution and a high detection efficiency for the small analytical volumes.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Im Hinblick auf die Analyse integrierter Schaltungen werden die Ortsauflösung und die Nachweisgrenzen der Augerelektronen-Spektrometrie (AES) und der Sekundärionen-Massenspektrometrie (SIMS) für einige kommerzielle Geräte unter speziellen Annahmen verglichen. AES erreicht die besten Werte der Ortsauflösung (d=0,2 μm und besser), ist jedoch dann auf Nachweisgrenzen im Bereich von 10−2 bis 10−4 (Atomzahlanteile) begrenzt. Die Analyse, z.B. an Leitbahnen und in Kontaktlöchern integrierter Schaltungen, ist daher grundsätzlich möglich, unterliegt jedoch Einschränkungen durch zusätzliche Probleme (Geometrie, Aufladungen, u.a.). Die derzeitige kommerzielle SIMS-Ionensonde gestattet wegen ihrer nur mäßigen Ortsauflösung (d≥5 μm) nur die Analyse großflächiger Strukturen, z.B. Kontakt-„pads“ (ca. 100×100 μm), bietet aber dann um mehrere Größenordnungen bessere Nachweisgrenzen als AES. Das Ionenmikroskop erreicht die gleichen Nachweisgrenzen wie die Ionensonde bei einer Ortsauflösung, die um eine Größenordnung besser ist (d≥0,5 μm). Es erlaubt daher die Untersuchung auch feinerer Strukturen im Mikrometerbereich. Für die Analyse künftiger, hochintegrierter Halbleiterschaltungen werden SIMS-Geräte benötigt, die eine Ortsauflösung im Submikrometerbereich mit hoher Nachweisempfindlichkeit vereinigen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Augerelektronen-Spektrometrie (AES), die Sekundärionen-Massenspektrometrie (SIMS) und die Abbildung von dünnen Querschnitten im Transmissionselektronenmikroskop (TEM) ergänzen sich in wertvoller Weise: TEM-Querschnitte geben den Aufbau und die Morphologie der Schichten mit sehr hoher Ortsauflösung (〈1 nm) sowohl in lateraler als auch vertikaler Richtung wieder, AES und SIMS bieten die zugehörige Elementanalyse von Hauptbestandteilen, Verunreinigungen und Dotierstoffen über die Tiefe. Die Nützlichkeit der Kombination dieser Methoden wird an Tantalsilicid-Polysilicium-Doppelschichten aus der modernen MOS-Technologie veranschaulicht.
    Notes: Summary Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), and cross-sectional Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) favourably complement one another in the analysis of thin film problems: Cross sectional TEM images reveal the structure and the morphology of thin films with very high spatial resolution (〈 1 nm) in lateral as well as in vertical direction, whereas AES and SIMS provide the corresponding elemental analyses of major components, impurities, and doping elements as a function of film depth. The combined application of these methods is shown for the case of tantalum silicidepolysilic on double layers used in modern MOS devices.

    Notes: Summary Two situations are referred to, in which the application of SIMS is limited by sample- and instrument-related effects, namely the analysis close to sample edges and the depth profiling over a high dynamic range (in excess of 5 orders of magnitude). Methods of sample preparation are described which result in a pronounced extension of the range of applicability of SIMS in these situations. In terms of detection sensitivity, on boron-implanted silicon between one and two orders of magnitude may be gained as compared to non-preparative direct measurements.

    Notes: The dynamic range is one of the most important figures of merit of SIMS measurements and equipment. The term refers to the concentration range of an analysed element - its concentration being high near the surface but decreasing with increasing depth - that can be measured by depth profiling. The state of the art is such that, under favourable conditions, 5-6 orders of magnitude are possible (measured on ion-implanted boron in silicon). It is shown that with special sample preparation techniques (removal of the sputter crater environment) the dynamic range can be extended to 7 orders of magnitude. Experimental details of the preparative methods are given together with a critical evaluation of the methods.
