For the formation of $N^+$ doping, the antimony ions are mainly used for the fabrication of a BJT (bipolar junction transistor), CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor), FET (field effect transistor) and BiCMOS (bipolar and complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process integration. Antimony is a heavy element and has relatively a low diffusion coefficient in silicon. Therefore, antimony is preferred as a candidate of ultra shallow junction for n type doping instead of arsenic implantation. Three-dimensional (3D) profiles of antimony are also compared one another from different tilt angles and incident energies under same dimensional conditions. The diffusion effect of antimony showed ORD (oxygen retarded diffusion) after thermal oxidation process. The interfacial effect of a $SiO_2/Si$ is influenced antimony diffusion and showed segregation effects during the oxidation process. The surface sputtering effect of antimony must be considered due to its heavy mass in the case of low energy and high dose conditions. The range of antimony implanted in amorphous and crystalline silicon are compared each other and its data and profiles also showed and explained after thermal annealing under inert $N_2$ gas and dry oxidation.

The characteristics of antimony implants are relatively well-known. Antimony has lower diffusion coefficient, shorter implantation range, and smaller scattering as compared with conventional dopants such as phosphorous and arsenic. It has been commonly used in the doping of buried layer in Bi-CMOS process. In this paper, characteristics and appropriate condition of monitoring in antimony implant beam tuning using Sb$_2$O$_3$were investigated to get a reliable process. TW(Thema Wave) and R$_{s}$(Sheet Resistance) test were carried out to set up condition of monitoring for stable operation through the periodic inspection of instruction condition. The monitoring was progressed at the point that the slant of R$_{s}$ varied significantly to Investigate the variation of instruction accurately.

Antimony profiles by MeV implantation are measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and spreading resistance (SR). The moments of SIMS and simulated profiles are calculated and compared for the exact range in MeV energy. SRIM, DUPEX, ICECREM, and TSUPREM4 simulation programs are used for the calculation of range 1D, 2D. SRIM is a Monte Carlo simulation program and different inter-atomic potentials can be used for the calculation of nuclear stopping power cross-section (Sn) and range moments. Nevertheless, the range parameters were not influenced from nuclear stopping power in MeV. Through the modification of electronic stopping power cross-section (Se), the results of simulation are remarkably improved and matched very well with SIMS data. The values of electronic stopping power are optimized for Sb high energy implantation. For the electrical activation, Sb implanted samples are annealed under $N_2$ and $O_2$ ambient. Finally, Oxidation retard diffusion(ORD) effect of Sb implanted sample are demonstrated by SR measurements and ICECREM simulation.

In this paper, we demonstrated an analytical description method of forward voltage drop and reverse voltage of $P^{+}N$ junction diode with <111> oriented antimony doped silicon wafer 60keV boron implantation computer simulation results. In order to make electrical activation of implanted carriers, thermal annealing are carried out by RTP method for 1min at $1000^{\circ}C$ inert gas condition.

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of fabricated p+-n junction diode are demonstrated and interpreted with different theoretical calculations. Dopants distribution by boron ion implantation on silicon wafer were simulated with TRIM-code and ICECaEM simulator. In order to make electrical activation of implanted carriers, thermal annealing treatments are carried out by RTP method for 1min. at $1000^{circ}C$ under inert $N_2$ gas condition. In this case, profiles of dopants distribution before and after heat treatments in the substrate are observed from computer simulations. In the I-V characteristics of fabricated diodes, an analytical description method of a new triangular junction model is demonstrated and the results with calculated triangular junction are compared with measured data and theoretical calculated results of abrupt junction. Forward voltage drop with new triangular junction model is lower than the case of abrupt junction model. In the C-V characteristics of diode, the calculated data are compared with the measured data. Another I-V characteristics of diodes are measured after proton implantation in electrical isolation method instead of conventional etching method. From the measured data, the turn-on characteristics after proton implantation is more improved than before proton implantation. Also the C-V characteristics of diode are compared with the measured data before proton implantation. From the results of measured data, reasonable deviations are showed. But the C-V characteristics of diode after proton implantation are deviated greatly from the calculated data because of leakage currents in defect regions and layer shift of depletion by proton implantation.
