Advanced Methods for Defect Engineering in Silicon

Abstract

dc:description

The work seeks to study the effects of two newly discovered defect engineering mechanisms: the use of surface chemistry and optical stimulation on boron diffusion and activation during thermal annealing for ultrashallow junction formation. The work has a strong focus on the use of mathematical modeling to better understand the mechanism of boron diffusion, and utilizes rigorous system-based methods including parameter sensitivity analysis and maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation to refine model parameters.
