Modeling of defects, dopant diffusion and clustering in silicon
Ion implantation is a very well established technique to introduce dopants in semiconductors. This technique has been traditionally used for junction formation in integrated circuit processing, and recently al...

Molecular Dynamics Modeling of Octadecaborane Implantation into Si
We have carried out molecular dynamics simulations of monatomic B and octadecaborane cluster implantations into Si in order to make a comparative study and determine the advantages and drawbacks of each approa...

Multiscale Modeling of the Implantation and Annealing of Silicon Devices
Process simulators for silicon devices are benefiting from recent work on several models that cover vastly different length and time scales. In this talk we will focus on molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carl...

Atomistic Model of Transient Enhanced Diffusion and Clustering of Boron In Silicon
An atomistic model for B implantation, diffusion and clustering is presented. The model embodies the usual mechanism of Si self-interstitial diffusion and B kick-out and also includes the formation of immobile...
