Abstrakt: The fabrication of p+n shallow junctions using strained grown SiGe/Si heterostructure was studied. Because of the lower chemical potential of B in SiGe, the effective diffusion constant of B reduces in the SiGe/Si interface region when B diffuses from the SiGe layer to the Si layer. We have proposed a new method for shallow junction formation using this phenomenon and have shown that the profile of implanted B in SiGe/Si system is kept shallow by thermal treatment compared to that in Si.
