A boron diffusion is used to form a p-region on a 1-cm n-type silicon wafer. The following sequence of diffusion was performed.
1st step) solubility-limited B pre-deposition: 15 min at 1000C 2nd step) drive-in: 5 hrs at 1100C
(a) Find the junction depth Xj and the surface concentration of B after the 1st step.
(b) Find the junction depth Xj and the surface concentration of B after both 1st and 2nd steps.
(c) After the drive-in step, the above Si wafer was subjected to an additional thermal annealing at 1150C for 2 hours during other thermal process. Find the newly formed junction depth Xj and the surface concentration of B.
