Abstract

UV laser annealing (UV-LA) enables surface-localized high-temperature thermal processing to form abrupt junctions in emerging monolithically stacked devices, where applicable thermal budget is restricted. In this work, UV-LA is performed to regrow a SOI layer partially amorphized by arsenic ion implantation and to activate the dopants. In a microsecond scale (~10^-6 s to ~10^-5 s) UV-LA process, monocrystalline solid phase recrystallization and dopant activation without junction deepening is evidenced, thus opening various applications in low thermal budget integration flows.
