摘要
The results of experiments to evaluate the use of a commercially available rapid thermal annealer (RTA) with a graphite susceptor for capless rapid thermal annealing to activate implants in GaAs are reported. The interior of the susceptor was easily charged with As by annealing a sacrificial GaAs wafer. Wafers annealed face up in the charged susceptor showed no evidence of surface degradation (due to preferential loss of As) and no decrease in implant activation (peak doping) when compared to dielectric (SiO2) capped anneals. To date over 50 wafers have been annealed without recharging the susceptor. In addition, slip on 3-inch wafers was almost completely eliminated due to the reduction of radial temperature gradients.
