Abstract
The ion species in the PH3 and B2H6 beam extracted from an RF inductively coupled plasma are studied using a magnetic mass spectrometer, SIMS analysis, and TRIM simulation. It shows that the ion beam contains Hx+ monomer ions, (PHx+ or BHx+), and dimers (P2Hx+ or B2Hx +). The relative percentage of the ion species depends strongly on the RF power applied to the plasma. The percentage of dopant ions also depends on the gas flow rate (ion source chamber pressure) and gas concentration. The impacts of the different ion species on the implantation process are also discussed
