Abstrakt: SiGe channel is widely used because carrier mobilities of SiGe arehigher than those of Si. C or Ge ion implantation in the source/drainregion is expected to be effective to induce tensile or compressivestrain, respectively, in the SiGe channel. Laser annealing enables toremove lattice damage efficiently with minimum thermal budget. Inthis study, laser-annealed SiGe thin layers with and without C or Geimplantation were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy and X-rayPhotoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). We demonstrated the effect ofC or Ge implantation as well as Ge redistribution by the laserannealing on the Raman peak shift.
