Popis:	There has been considerable interest recently, in the formation of the source drain junctions of metal oxide semiconductor transistors using solid phase epitaxy (SPE) to activate the dopants rather than a traditional high temperature anneal. Previous studies have shown that this method results in high dopant activation as well as shallow junctions (due to the small thermal budget). In this we study the effect the temperature of SPE regrowth has on the boron activation. We find that boron activation has a monotonically increasing dependence on the temperature. Significantly, we show that by carrying out the SPE regrowth at temperatures above 1050°C, it is possible to obtain active concentrations well above the electrical solubility limits.
