High-precision quantitative evaluation of impurities in SiGe.
SIMS: Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
In the quantitative and compositional evaluation of impurities in the semiconductor material SiGe using SIMS, the following considerations must be taken into account during analysis: ● If appropriate quantification corrections are not made according to the Ge concentration, the impurity quantification values may differ by more than 50% from the actual values. Standard samples corresponding to each composition are necessary for quantitative evaluation. ● It is known that the sputtering rates differ between Si and SiGe. In samples where the composition varies with depth, the sputtering rate changes with depth as well. At MST, high-precision compositional analysis is possible through the preparation of standard samples. Additionally, by using calibration curves, impurity analysis and sputtering rate corrections for each composition of SiGe can be performed.
