When\u00a0<i><b>ATHENA<\/b><\/i>\u00a0performs a diffusion step it will model the diffusion of dopants not only into the silicon but also across region boundaries for instance from silicon to the gas above the silicon surface. So if no oxide is present on the surface of the silicon, dopant loss may occur into the gas. To illustrate a 1e14 Boron implant @ 50 KeV is performed into silicon and is annealed at 1150C for 60 minutes. Figure 1 shows the resulting Boron profile when an oxide layer is deposited just before the diffusion and when the silicon surface is exposed. Clearly significant dopant may be lost if no oxide is present. It is important therefore to check in each input deck that a surface oxide is present before any diffusion step is performed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1287\" height=\"1669\" src=\"https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints.jpg\" class=\"cleaned-enfold-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints.jpg 1287w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-794x1030.jpg 794w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-768x996.jpg 768w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-1184x1536.jpg 1184w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-1157x1500.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-544x705.jpg 544w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-29x37.jpg 29w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-42x55.jpg 42w, https:\/\/silvaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulationstandard\/simstd_may_2000_hints-37x48.jpg 37w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1287px) 100vw, 1287px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/silvaco.com\/dynamicweb\/jsp\/downloads\/DownloadDocStepsAction.do?req=download&#038;nm=simstd_may_2000_hints.pdf\" class=\"BGT-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Simulation Standard<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q.\u00a0When I simulate my process flow the simulated profile is always lower than the SRP measurements.
