Abstract

Selective chemical etching and atomic force microscope (AFM) examination has been performed to delineate two-dimensional (2-D) dopants profiles of p/n-type well and junction areas. Selectivity strongly depended on the types of dopants and the ratio of etching solutions. Calibration showed that the carrier concentrations in both p/n-type regions could be delineated down to a level of approx. 1×1017/cm3. The AFM-induced profiles were compared with the calculated data provided by the 2-D process simulators such as TRIM and SUPREM-IV.
