Tóm tắt

Examination of the stability of reactive ion etching (RIE) induced n on p bulk junctions has been undertaken. Two possible type conversion mechanisms are proposed and their implications for bulk junction stability are discussed. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and electrical measurements have been performed before and after baking at 100/spl deg/C, giving an insight into the junction formation mechanism and associated temperature stability.
