An increased total dose of phosphorus (P dose) in the ?rst 40 nm of a phosphorus diused emitter has been measured after Low Temperature Annealing (LTA) at 700 ?C using the Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry (GD-OES) technique. This evidence has been observed in three versions of the same emitter containing dierent amounts of initial hosphorus. A stepwise chemical etching of a diused phosphorus emitter has been carried out to prepare the three types of samples. The total P dose in the ?rst 40 nm increases during annealing by 1.4?1015 cm?2 for the sample with the highly-doped emitter, by 0.8?1015 cm?2 in the middle-doped emitter, and by 0.5?1015 cm?2 in the lowest-doped emitter. The presence of surface dislocations in the ?rst few nanometers of the phosphorus emitter might play a role as preferential sites of local phosphorus gettering in phosphorus re-distribution, because the phosphorus gettering to the ?rst 40 nm is lower when this region is etched stepwise. | |
