Abstract

This paper proposes a new method to decrease the absolute value of temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) in P-type boron implanted polysilicon resistors, at a given intermediate sheet resistance values, by selecting an optimized combination of boron doping implant conditions with co-implantation conditions. The co-implantation ion species that were investigated are fluorine, argon and xenon. Each of the co-implantation species was studied at three different co-implantation conditions and two different boron doping implant conditions of dose and energy.
