NEUTRAL BEAM DOSE AND SPUTTERING CHARACTERISTICS IN

AN ION IMPLANTATION SYSTEM

ByA.S. Roberts, Jr.1, R.L. Ash2 and

1. INTRODUCTION

Accurate determination of ion beam dose is important in the productionof ion implanted semiconductor devices. A small but significant percentageof neutral atoms in the source beam can lead to inaccuracies in impurity doping

and localized sputtering of the semiconductor target in a high-vacuum ionimplantation system. The work reported here discloses a technique and instru-

ment design for calorimetric detection of the neutral atom content of a 60

keV argon ion beam. A beam sampling method is used to measure local heat fluxto a small platinum wire at steady state; integration of power density profilesleads to a determination of equivalent neutral beam current. The fast neutral

production occurs as a result of charge transfer processes in the region of

the beam system between analyzing magnet and beam stop where the pressureremains less than 10":s torr. A description of the neutral beam detector is

given in section 2 along with a presentation of results.

As a part of this work, performed for the Instruments Techniques Section,

Measurements Physics Branch of the Instrument Research Division, an elementaryanalysis of sputter material transport from target to substrate was performed;

the analysis relates to semiconductor sputtering. This work with a cursoryreview of semiconductor sputtering literature is described in section 3. Allexperiments were performed using a high vacuum ion implantation system in the

Instruments Techniques Section laboratories at NASA Langley Research Center.

.2. DESIGN OF NEUTRAL BEAM, DETECTOR.,

A conventional plasma source was used to, generate ionized argon; thecathode was tungsten. Extracted tons were formed tnto a beam via an electro-static lens system and the beam was magnetically analyzed to produce a singlyionized argon beam in the target region. A target chamber schematic is shownin Figure 1. The target chamber is offset upward so that when the ion beamis electrostatically deflected upward and focused onto the center of the beamstop the neutral beam will continue off-center to the end of the target chamber.As indicated, the beam detector is moved up through the neutral beam. Figure 2is a photograph of the target region assembly. The target chamber is left ofcenter with the beam detector inserting from the bottom; below the largecentral tee a noble gas sputter ion pump is mounted; the beam enters from theright through the metal bellows; the vertical offset is visible by observingthe bellows position. Finally, beam detection instrumentation is seen in theforeground."

2.1 Description of the Wire Detector

The problem was to devise an instrument to detect an equivalent neutralbeam current down to ^ .1 ua. The neutral beam is formed between the analyzingmagnet and the vertical deflection plates (a distance of ^ 75 cm); beam energyis assumed uniform at the value set for the ion beam, 60 kevY

A number of techniques have been employed to detect neutrals,(commonlyinvolving deposition of energy or momentum impulse (Huddlestone and Leonard,chap. 12)1. On the other hand, Berkner, et al. used a pyroelectric ceramic[detector to determine neutral beam fluxesT however, the^method yielded no beam ;||tructi£re and required simultaneously a measurement of ion beam current. ^A__ inote by Ormrod disclosed an energy deposition technique where an ion beam wasscanned with a tungsten wire and the resulting black-body radiation wasmeasured. Although the method gave beam structure information it is only use-ful for high beam currents (significant heating of wire).

An energy deposition technique was ultimately used. A 1 mil diameter(.0254 mm) platinum wire, ^ 2 cm in length, was swept through the beam, sub-tending the beam in a chord-wise fashion. Since'beam; diameters were 7 to lOrrmrn^

a number of sampling points could be gotten over the beam cross-section. Aphotograph of the wire detector and its mount is shown as Figure 3; the detectorassembly inserts into the bottom of the target chamber as sketched in Figure 1.The neutral beam energy flux can be inferred from the measured average changein platinum wire resistance; the neutral beam dose then follows if it is as-sumed that (1) neutral atom energy is equivalent to that of the ion beam and(2) kinetic energy of neutral atoms is completely absorbed when intercepted bythe wire.

2.2 Analysis for Data Reduction

The platinum wire is heated by the beam and, when steady-state is reached,the absolute resistance is measured with an accurate Kelvin Bridge. If the risein average wire temperature, with respect to its measured end temperature,islimited to a few hundred degrees centigrade, a linear relation holds betweenaverage incremental resistance and average incremental wire temperature;

where platinum properties are taken from a monograph by Caldwell. Note thatan accuracy for <T > determination of ^ 2.5% is implied. Figure 4 outlinesthe experimental technique for determining <T > from which beam power densitycan be inferred for a given position of the wire in the beam.

A steady-state heat balance is performed, and an average heat flux canbe calculated for a given <T >. The one-dimensional governing equation isfourth degree, subject to fixed wire end temperature.

The problem of data reduction amounts to the determination of the powerdensity of an incident beam given:

Equation (11) can be inverted to solve for Qi in terms of the measuredvalue <T >. Defining,

which is the heating rate per unit wire diameter, the following working ex-pression results:

\QBAR = A! <T > - A2(TEND - TA) '(13)

The constants, BI, Qi, C2, A! and A2 are written out in the Appendix. ThusQBAR is determined algebraically from the experimental and physical data.

• In the event that T (x)/TA is not small compared with unity, the non-lijiear |jequation must be solved. A computer program has been written to calculate thebeam power per unit wire diameter, QBAR, corresponding to a given averageincremental temperature. This is accomplished by assuming an upper bound onQBAR and iteratively converging to the actual QBAR which corresponds to the

given average incremental temperature. Comparison of results from the closedform solution and the iterative method showed good agreement when a linearcase was tested.

2.3 Results

The incremental change in resistance of the platinum wire was determinedfor various y-positions in the beam (see Figure 4), with set values of targetregion pressure, beam energy and ion current at the beam stop. Via equation (1)these values were converted to average incremental temperature rise. Typicalcurves of <T > versus arbitrary y-position are presented in Figure 5. Thebeam boundaries are well defined; however, the beam power density distributionin the vertical direction through the beam is skewed upward; such :was true inmost but not all beam profiles. This behavior relates closely to beam formingand focusing properties determined outside the target region of the system.A non-zero "smear" condition is detected at the top edge of the neutral beam,which is attributed to straggling ions and neutral atoms. These particles arediverted from the principal direction of neutral beam flow at the positionwhere vertical deflection plates send the ion beam along the tube above theneutral beam to the ion beam stop. Since the neutral beam edges were generallydistinct and the neutral particle content in the "smear" region was clearlysmall, extrapolation to establish beam diameter, BDIA, was performed on thecurves on Figure 5. Note that the data points were joined with a smooth curve,and a circular beam cross section was assumed, consistent with the mechanismof electrostatic ion beam focusing. Besides beam diameter, informationregarding temperatures TA and TEND^was*esneeded before employing the data

reduction^scheme outlined in section 2.2. The wire end temperature was takento be that of the massive stainless steel mounts shown in Figure 3 to whichwas attached an iron-constantan thermocouple junction. The enclosure tempera-ture, TA, was taken as that of the ambient atmosphere in contact with the tar-get chamber outer surface.

Calculations were consequently made to determine QBAR versus y, thevertical position of the detector wire in the beam. The curves of Figure 5are consequently reduced to those shown in Figure 6. Recalling that QBAR isthe heat rate per unit wire diameter, it is clear that the total neutral beampower is determined by integration after connecting the data points using a .fsmooth .curve; integration of the asymmetric beam profi 1 es""was performed"mechani^Jcally. Neutral beam powers for the cases shown in Figure 6 are,

The 9xlO~6 torr case is displayed as the rQ-data in Figures 55 danti 66. JThe-higherpressure data would be expected to yield a greater neutral beam power in directratio to the pressures , £ ~i.re.3, 4. 5 to 1.0. The neutral beam power ratio found isin ratio 3.0 to 1.0. This discrepancy is due mainly to the inequality in TENDvalues (a difference of 5.5°R) resulting in a higher neutral beam power for thelow pressure case. It is not clear why the reference temperature of the wiremount, ,-which did not vary widely while data was taken, should be lower in thelow pressure case. The BDIA difference is due to focusing irregularities, butthis should have no effect on neutral beam production so long as the ion cur-rents are equal and the beam diameters remain large compared with mean spacingbetween background gas atoms.

2.3.2 Self -Consistency Test. The wire detector was scanned through boththe neutral beam and the total beam (neutrals plus ions) in a sequence of ex-periments. A separate measurement of the ion beam current was made with theshielded Faraday cup. A power balance was attempted such that,

The discrepancy is attributed to (1) secondary electron emission problems inmeasuring ion beam current and (2) secondary processes occurring at wire surfacewhile scanning the total beam. Ion scattering, secondary emission and sput-tering processes on the platinum wire would cause a portion of the total beamenergy not to be deposited, hence the measured value, Q +- = .981 watts, wouldbe less than actual total beam power. It is difficult to believe that surfaceprocesses alone could account for the factor of 2.5 difference in depositedpower. Both types of errors must share the discrepancy. It is possible thatthere is a spread in ion beam energy, although small for a magnetically analyzedbeam, such that every ion does not carry 601- |;eVKka.net'dceenergy.ashhas::bee"n.as-^sumed in calculating Q.. In considering the fraction of ion beam which isneutralized, the ratio is .018 watts/2.400 watts « .8%, a value not inconsistentwith the 1% reported by McGinty, et al.3 using a 34ya, 60?vkey.lphps,phorusfc.beamwith BDIA = .8cm.

J 3> JSPUTTERING MECHANICS,/•

A vast literature exists describing ingenious experiments elucidatingsputtering phenomena induced by primary ions ranging in energy from thresholdvalues of a few tens of ^eV3 to the meV«'v- region (see summaries by Kaminsky,and Carter and Colligon). No significant progress was made in this presentstudy with respect to quantitative details of argon ion or dopant ion sputteringon semiconductors.

3.1 Semiconductor Sputtering

A few papers were found (published between 1967 and 1971) mainly addres-sing the question of compositional carry-over to substrate and experimentalsputtering yield comparisons with various theories. A paper by Comas andCooper reports experiments where single crystal GaAs was sputtered by normallyincident low energy argon ions; composition of sputtered material and yieldvalues are offered as results. In section 7.9 of the work by Carter andColligon it is reported that the composition of sputtered material from GaSb andInSb samples is basically stoichiometric. In the paper by Sommerfeldt, et al.330 keVxargon ions bombarded a single crystal of germanium. By controllingtarget temperature they were able to study sputter yield and secondary electronemission for ordered and amorphous states of the same target. The theory of

focused collision events along close-packed atomic rows (focu's6n''meqhUfii:sm;f 'did not explain their experimental findings. Another paper taking issue withthe focuson mechanism was published by Cowell and Smith. Two other papers,relating to semiconductor sputtering, by Hanak also fforemenkova^,> et. aZ.., arelisted in the reference section. .;

Two conclusions can be drawn from these few recent works: (1) sputtertheory and experiment have not yet been brought into good agreement (Kaminsky^Carter arid Colligon, Sommerfeldt, et al., Cowell and Smith), and (2) composi-'tion of certain semiconductor materials carries over essentially in stoichio-metric ratio (Carter and Colligon, Comas and Cooper).

3.2 Isotropic Sputtering Model

If it is assumed that sputtered molecules have no preferred direction ofdeparture, as is often the case for polycrystalline materials, the directional,concentration of sputtered molecules would follow the <£QS.rne_Taw:

Aside from a difference in velocities, this type of scattering is exactly ' '].analogous to gray diffuse radiation theory. As a result, the sputtered yieldbetween two finite areas can be determined using radiation enclosure theory. . .•

4.r CONCLUSIONS

The main contribution of this work was to establish a method of determiningi

neutral beam flux, dose, or power density. An energy deposition technique wasused, and chord-wise sampling of beam power density distributions gave somefine structure information. Certain secondary processes at the detector wiresurface limit the accuracy of the technique. The "resolution" of the detectorwas not determined, but neutral beams of approximately 1% ion beam equivalentcurrent were detected and beam profiles measured. Integration of beam profilesyielded total neutral beam power.

The method could be further studied in order to establish the accuracyof the technique. For the instrument to be used as an on-line monitoringdevice, an automatic scanning and resistance read-out system could be devised.As conceived the instrument serves mainly as a research tool.

A model successfully representing sputter material transport from targetto substrate was constructed. -Some analytic results are presented, but noexperimental data was found to compare with model calculations.

Expert laboratory work was performed making the neutral beam measurementspossible. The authors particularly wish to thank two people in the InstrumentsTechniques Section of IRD. Tucker Clark contributed to beam detector design,fabrication, and experimental assembly. Johnny Burgess was a patient andtalented operator of the complex high-vacuum ion beam system.
